Here's an announcement that just went out on the Northeastern University e-mail system...
Please join Dr. Walter Carl of the Communication Studies Department for a public lecture:
Consumer-Generated Media: The Birth of the Word-of-Mouth Industry
Word-of-mouth and consumer generated media are hot topics now as companies struggle to break through a mediascape cluttered with advertisements, deal with a growing distrust of corporate-affiliated messages, figure out a consumer market that demands greater control and engagement, and try to understand how new communication technologies amplify peer-to-peer communication and influence, both in the online and offline worlds. In his talk Dr. Carl will discuss the resurgence of interest in word-of-mouth and how his research intersects with two of the biggest challenges facing this nascent industry: ethics and measurement standards.
