Many people tell us how the new online paradigm offers data and transparency which can be used in PR.
What most don't tell us is that this is fine for some media (on and off line) for other media its not quite as comprehensive as it might seem. A lot of the measures are not as transparent as they might be and the opportunity for measuring apples as oranges are even worse that AVE's.
As a Klea Global director I have been looking at how existing technologies can help and how measures can be developed that are both communication platform and channel agnostic.
This is work in progress and I some of the processes proposed are still in development but will be available (if not common) by the end of the year.
Of course, there is a lot to add but it is a beginning for the student and practitioner.
What most will find amazing is the modern capability to collect all new media citation in fractions of a second and in only a few fractions of a second more, to be able to fit this content into the overall pattern of an organisation's presence.
There are a number problems that still exist. Semiotics covers text, images and video as well as Augmented Reality added content etc and so we have some way to go.
The key, as always, is to have drill down transparency, comprehensive and timely motoring, evaluation and insights.
Pictures and video is much less amenable to semantic analysis at present which will be really powerful when it arrives. However, we can see how powerful semantics can be with the results that are evident using the 'Reputation Wall' and other semantic analysis of content.
I will be delighted to see how far this form of PR goes.
