Martin Murtland, Vice President & Managing Director, Factivia Communicator, for Dow Jones discusses Occupy Wall Street’s implications for media and communications.
Some of Martin’s Key Takeaways:
“The thing I find interesting is just the shear wide range of topics that are being covered in association with the Occupy Wall Street movement; such as economic inequality and executive pay but also, more recently, things like police enforcement.”
“We found in traditional media, focus was more on the police crackdowns and on social media the discussion was around the actual protesters being pepper sprayed, particularly the University of California campus where they were protesting possible hikes in tuition fees. If you compare them in totality, I think they’re both covering the same sort of issues and following a similar trend pattern in terms of the volume and the favorability.”
