How do you feel about live storytelling, asks Kim Fox.
-
If you're not conveying a story, you're just putting out information. You need to be curating the stream says Anjali Kapoor.
-
Live storytelling has to evolve, and it needs to be better curated. #smwnewsroomby communicable via twitter 9/24/2013 2:40:58 PM

You should be looking at how you are fulfilling the jobs that people need fulfilled in their life. If you can do that, people will instinctively pull you in. People don't know what they want until they see it.
For live blogging, during the Calgary floods: Global Calgary had a livestream and live blog happening. The pertinent information was presented to viewers. Live blogging is just a tool, but the question is "how do we marry those tools" to do the jobs we need to do. - David Skok -

Be honest about branded content, and protect your brand. Keep editorial people out of it. Protect journalistic integrity. #smwnewsroomby communicable via twitter 9/24/2013 2:52:49 PM

Q: as an internal disruptor, how do you work with the rest of the organization? #smwnewsroomby communicable via twitter 9/24/2013 2:58:42 PM

For disruption within an organization to work: You have to be separate, says @dskok. Otherwise you'll get swallowed whole. #smwnewsroom
