This morning as I was watching CNN Newsroom, they were discussing Obama's Presidential Address which is taking place tonight. The interesting part to this discussion was that they were intertwining citizens opinions into the discussion through Facebook. Rick Sanchez, one of the anchors, had set up a page so individuals could send their opinion in to the show on what they believe should be addressed by Obama tonight.
I know that on television productions and such there is always a way to contact and send in your opinion on the show, however what seemed so interesting to me was that CNN did this through Facebook; at least today. Every couple of minutes Rick would show the comments that people were making on the address and then would follow up with a few comments himself.
Not only did I find this to be an appealing way to interact with the audience (viewers) but it seemed to be extremely affective as the anchors continued to share feedback on comments.

ReplyDeleteI have seen similar discussions about other issues on CNN where they bring in people's opnions from Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace. I must say that I think this is pretty awesome as well! It is definitely great way to interact with viewers and share feedback.
