Tech Daily Dose: Sen. Collins Hops On New Media Bandwagon http://techdailydose.nationaljournal.com/2008/12/sen-collins-hops-on-new-media.php?rss=1 en Copyright 2009 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 19:25:33 GMT http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Sen. Collins Hops On New Media Bandwagon Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, has a new position in her office that does not yet have a recognizable acronym on Capitol Hill when the hires of LAs, LDs, COSs, and AAs, are discussed. Collins’s new media director, Lance Dutson, will be charged with oversight of online forums, blogs, increased use of the Web site, Web video initiatives, and user-generated content. "Our use of new media will take many forms, the most obvious of which will be an increase in the use of our Web site as a medium for two-way communication," Dutson said in an email.

"We plan to dramatically increase our use of Web video to keep constituents abreast of what is happening in Washington, and to use the medium to explain both the process and the reasoning behind the legislative work that is done on their behalf," he said. Web video will provide an efficient way for Collins to speak directly to Mainers and provides a venue for her to hear concerns of her constituents, he said. The office will also boost communication through email and RSS distribution and employ micro-targeting, hyper-local blogs and user-generated content.
