9 ways for BIS to work with Buzzfeed
A site that counts a list of 27 middle-class problems as one of its most-read articles probably isn’t a media outlet that government press teams would naturally consider targeting.
Collaboration in the age of digital journalism
Journalists aren’t experts. That’s what members of the BIS press office heard on Monday from some of the Guardian’s journalists and digital strategists at a GCS event on digital and open journalism.
Digital for events and visits
We have a cracking team of people here at BIS who do all sorts of good things using social media as part of their day job, which usually involves arranging visits, events and staff outreach.
Scoop.it and the press office
BIS is responsible for the Science and Research Budget totalling £4.6 billion per year. Innovation and science staff were keen to know more about activity going on to showcase some of that spending.
Working with Press Office
We wanted to enhance social media monitoring, especially Twitter, in the BIS press office, and show that it could be an everyday part of the job without resulting in extra work.
Tools to help press offices curate news content
I really like the way my colleagues in the BIS press office are using Scoop.it!* to curate news coverage that relates to their Science, Research and Innovation desk.
