Let us leave 2009 with the wisdom of some folks steeped in the new media of their own times.
On the need for great writing:
“The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it.”
– Edward R. Murrow, in 1964
On the need to invest in ‘how to say it’:
If I am to speak ten minutes, I need a week for preparation; if fifteen minutes, three days; if half an hour, two days; if an hour, I am ready now.
– Woodrow Wilson, 1856-1924
On the need for measurement…and listening:
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished.
– George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950
Looking forward to accomplishing communications with you next year!
