This is true for most interpersonal communications. However, as Mark and others keep pointing out, strategic goals must be identified and communicated with a variety of tools, after identifying various tactical options. Furthermore, we cannot assume that refugees and people in impoverished parts of the world have anything beyond simple cellphones and radios. The internet is not accessible to everyone, especially in war zones. So some have information monopolies while others are in information free zones.

This reminds me that communication and events are now intertwined; it is all “co-created” with all the stakeholders. There is no purveyor of information and consumer of it; we all participate together in our understanding of events. So it’s not just a move from one-way, broadcast style communications, to some kind of two-way sense of it; it really is a fray and while completely messy, it is in this fray that opinion and decisions are made, so it’s actually dangerous to sit out, broadcasting from on high.
