In this week’s episode of the Media Bullseye Radio Roundtable, I’m joined by Scott Monty, CEO and founder of Scott Monty Strategies and the producer of the Full Monty podcast and newsletter.

As always, we cover 3 topics in 30 minutes or less:

  • P&G’s decision to shift advertising money from Facebook to TV and the implications of that decision.
  • The strategies Twitter and Google employ to handle trolls and harassment.
  • The perception of traditional media and its trustworthiness — and what that means for PR.

In this week’s episode of the Media Bullseye Radio Roundtable, I’m joined by Paul Gillin of the content marketing firm Gillin + Laberis. In addition, Paul is the author of several books on social media marketing.

As always, we cover 3 topics in 30 minutes or less:

  • The future of the newspaper industry, spurred by a 19-minute segment on John Oliver’s HBO show over the weekend. (Since Paul started the website Newspaper Death Watch nearly a decade ago, he’s a great guest to cover this topic.)
  • The business model of The Information and what it tells us about the ability of the media to develop successful economic models moving forward.
  • The prospect that Facebook might be able to put a dent in clickbait headlines by changing its news feed algorithms.

(And my apologies for my own audio quality. For some reason Skype used my laptop microphone rather than my fancy-pants audio setup.)

As always, we cover 3 topics in 30 minutes or less:

  • Pokemon Go. Enough said. Except for the time we spend talking about it, of course.
  • The use of podcasts for student and alumni engagement in higher education — and what lessons that can teach us more broadly in public relations and communications.
  • The use of social media by scientists. Or, as I think of it, theorems in 140 characters or less.
