How internet and social media could help pro-lifers to get the message out - some thoughts from the
UofT Students For Life Blog. This article appeared in the November
NCLN newsletter. (H/t
Big Blue Wave.)
The Internet offers a variety of opportunities for pro-life clubs to engage a wider audience. The key is in understanding the social part of the web.
Traditional broadcast media have typically been about a mass audience (one-to-many, e.g. TV, radio) and traditional communications media, about personal communication (one-to-one, e.g. telephones). The internet, on the other hand, offers a mass communications platform. That’s why internet media are often referred to as social media. On the web, it’s not about broadcast. It’s about multi-directional communication.
In geek speak: input and output.
Meanwhile,
No Apologies is making a step beyond the text-only mode,
launching its live-streaming broadcasts. NoApologies is looking forward to put together a regular predictable schedule in the weeks ahead so that subscribers could view those video reports live.
NoApologies is committed to becoming a leading source of news, commentary and analysis for Christians who want to be informed and secularists who want to be educated on key issues and developments in Canada’s political and cultural arenas.
The first event to be broadcast is the
ECP euthanasia talk, by Tim Bloedow, that will take place today at Bethel URC in Aylmer, Ontario at 7:30pm Eastern time (which is about an hour from now). If for some reason, the live-streaming can't be accessed on the
No Apologies website, then please visit
