If you’re interested in Social Media Newsrooms, either as a corporate communicator looking at this concept for your company, or as a public relations or communications professional consulting to other businesses, please check out the new Social Media Newsroom Facebook group I launched today. I’m hoping the group serves as a place to share links, client successes, and talk about just what a Social Media Newsroom is and what it can do for clients.

This is a brand new group, so any ideas you have on what it can be, please start a discussion in the group. I’m also hoping that a few interested people step up and offer to be group admins, officers, etc. Once we get enough people, maybe we can have meet-ups at some of this year’s conferences.

If you’re not familiar with the concept of a Social Media Newsroom, please check out the group, visit SHIFT’s web site and Todd Defren’s blog to learn what they’re doing, and take a look at the page on this site that links to some newsrooms deployed by Electrolux, GM Europe, Seagate, Ustream.TV and others. There’s also an interesting discussion here. (Scroll down and read the comments.)
