Blog vs Wiki

A wiki is a collaborative web tool where different people can provide information about a topic. Different people can modify posts adding, updating or correction information. Since different person contributes to the content, we can say they are numerous authors. a wiki also evolves since the authors can update the text and make sure all that all information is accurate. It is a great tool for projects that need cooperation and that are knowledge-based since everybody in the team can participate fully.

A blog ( also known as Weblog) is a website where an individual or a team can post articles gravitating around a topic. Although some blogs are very professional and related to businesses or corporations, most blogs are informal and personal. Just people deciding to talk about a given subject and sharing their opinion on particular topics.

In comparison to Wiki, blogs are less collaborative and probably more complicated to navigate as some of them require some coding knowledge (HTML). Wikis are usually text based on do not require any coding skills. Also since blogs are usually maintained by one person, they tend to be really static and not evolve as much as a wiki can since different persons can update/modify the post.

A blog might be used for collaboration if on the same blog different people can post their opinion on the same topic thru different articles. It might an interesting concept to see different persons' points of view independently displayed all about the same problem or event.

Wiki can be used in project management for brainstorming and also task organization as all team may be able to update it in real-time

Advice

Dear Baruch College Administration, You are doing a good job by raising awareness around the topic of new media in the college. As new media is mainly about social and digital media platforms, I think that leveraging platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook and twitter is a very good approach to connect the students as well as the professors. On top of what you already have in place, I suggest you to explore the possibility of having an internal social network like the ones most companies have for their employees to link up and interact with each other. You may start with the students and monitor the posts while thinking about integrating the professors and faculty members and staff.

Privacy

The baseline of new media is information. As long as we have information at stake whether physical (old media) or logical(new media) privacy and confidentiality have to be involved. Most of the digital or electronic platforms are subject to privacy an confidentiality issues. It is basically any information that are deemed revealing and could cause harm to the owner of the piece of information. The information could be a simple picture of the Zuckerberg  that is inadvertently re posted on twitter by a stranger who thought that the picture was open to the public. It could also be some critical and highly confidential data about the NSA, sold by the security administrator  Edward Snowden to wikipedia. New media platforms bring together users who are dealing with tonnes of private information of their own and the line between private or confidential and public information could be to thin to perceive.

Social media influencers marketing

Hello fellows, Social media influencers marketing is the topic of my term paper. Social media influencers are individuals who share content through social media such as YouTube, Instagram or more recently Tik Tok. They shape the audience's attitude through posts (videos, pictures, ...) on social media sharing their experience with some products and services and are therefore used widely for marketing purposes. On most social media platforms, we are exposed to sponsored (or not) content providing feedbacks or sharing tips on diverse topics. They are responsible for most of the trends on social media and have the ability to showcase their narrative on different topics. Depending on one's interest, from makeup to hairstyles or cooking, everybody should be able to find an influencer specialized on the particular topic and a lot of niches are covered, even the one we would not think of. One of our goals is to provide a definition of the concept of social medial influencer providi...
