[Stylist] Food for Thought: NFB Literature for a Younger Audience

Tue Apr 16 01:47:32 UTC 2019

No one who matters nationally ask me to help create literature, LOL! That
being said, I do create various comms including for social media for my
affiliate and chapter. I have PR experience outside of the NFB, and did a PR
internship for a local PR firm, so I employ this knowledge and skills when
creating comms locally. Short and sweet is usually the best policy. You can
still be substantive within a shorter frame, whether written or verbal
communication.

At the end of the day though, I would see 99% of our funding and efforts go
towards real programs like BELL and creating similar programs instead of
producing a lot of literature and creating big social media campaigns unless
specific to an event or activity that's upcoming.

Twitter and Facebook can be very effective if done correctly, which includes
consistency.

Well said. So how can we do that? How can we create literature that is
concise, clear and substantive?

One book I'd recommend is Talk like Ted by Carmine Gallo. This is on Bard
and Audible if you're interested in it.

I think this is a worthy dialog. Let's also keep in mind that in our current
climate, everyone seems to be time-starved. Can we find ways to create audio
that is no longer then 30 minutes? Shoule our national banquet address be
shortened to 30 minutes? Thanks.
