I had the opportunity to be in Corfu this weekend at the informal meeting of OSCE foreign ministers. It was a great experience from any perspective, media and otherwise! This was the first informal ministerial meeting of the OSCE.
During the conference we had the opportunity, as OSCE Press and Public Information Section, to explore new ways to link with the media and the general public utilizing the twitter and facebook accounts of the OSCE. For the scale of the event we did manage to stream the event live and have multimedia (audio and video) of the opening and closing statements and a great photo gallery! I believe that the most important thing is that we learned so much in preparation for the Formal Ministerial Council in Athens in December 2009.
One of the suggestions is to project the OSCE twitter to the Press Center, so as journalists, reporters, media people and volunteers to keep up to date with schedule, press center and pool updates, media appearances and other OSCE short updates; even if they are not logged in to their accounts. Social media utilization by organizations such as the "Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe" has the opportunity to relay messages and connect with citizens. In the OSCE case, people from 56 different countries. OSCE events and conferences are a great way to promote the value of Social Media, in interacting with all the people involved and people that follow the proceedings through the Internet.
