CCHF & The AfroHispanic Review are a bit of a bust as far as blogs are concerned. As a blogger follower I am learning a few things about what keeps me following -- - You must post entries often!
- Have links and make sure they work -- if you are offering to buy something, then make sure I can by it!
- Have some new news to share, or introduce/update on a new idea or perspective.
While I love CCHF and AfroHispanic Review, there is really no reason for me to follow these blogs. I can keep up with CCHF through the quarterly newsletters they send and I'll check in every 2 months of so for the next AfroHispanic Review.
This Blog Explorer expedition has me thinking about how blogs fit into an organization's overall online profile, communications and presence. What's appropriate, or more effective where, or worth repeating across media? Is there a rule or guide about how different audiences use different media, or do the groups overlap? Yikes! What's an explorer to do? Furthermore, what's a PR Practitioner to do in a 1-woman PR shop to answer these questions in order to best fill the organizations needs and strategic objectives. (Going to Graduate School for Public Relations might be a good start to figuring it out!)
While each of these organizations have a great perspective and offerings to share,Hey if you have some info to share on this do tell, I'm all ears! Here are my thoughts about how CCHF & AfroHispanic Review Blogs could reach me....
1. CCHF -- is a movement that touches christian medical provider, why not invite different members to write a blog post monthly on their work, challenges and victories. The founder of the movement is an iconic leader who speaks often and always inspires and enlightens about the journey, why not feature a monthly video from one of his sessions. In addition it's important to have some ongoing update on the progress toward the movement from the leadership. All that being said, I certainly know it's more than a notion to shift ideas like this into motion with no staff or volunteers dedicated to it....maybe its something I can offer to the group once I finish my MAPR?
2. AfroHispanic Review -- The current Dominican/Hatian citizenship issue is an opportunity to share literature about the subject of the history of 'colorism' in Latino/Carribean culture. These are the times when and literature can be a balm or spark conversation toward reconciliation. This publication is actually way ahead of things, the 2013 issue was filled with essays about the Dominican/Hatian cultural experience.
