Why Nonprofits Need a New Influence Playbook with Carnegie's Kleinfeld, DiResta & Labowitz
Q: For folks listening in today with a limited team and a limited budget, what is one experiment they could try in the next month?

Why Nonprofits Need a New Influence Playbook with Carnegie's Kleinfeld, DiResta & Labowitz
Q: When we say new media, what do we actually mean, and what changed enough to make this new report necessary right now?
Renee DiResta describes new media as participatory: audiences can remix, reshare, and create content, while individual creators can build trusted topic-specific audiences. Rachel Kleinfeld adds that institutions often overvalue traditional media despite creators reaching audiences at comparable scale.

Q: What do you think about having a social media employee on Claude to decide what you should post and when, and help ensure it gets posted?
Pyatt supports AI as an assistant for curating ideas, adding perspectives, refining writing, and saving time, while cautioning against publishing content generated entirely by AI without meaningful human input. Myers adds that AI should be a tool, not a crutch, and that people should be comfortable with what it publishes in their name.

Q: What separates the leaders who just check the box on LinkedIn from the ones who use it effectively?
Erica Pyatt says effective leaders add their own perspective, explain what organizational information means to specific audiences, and use LinkedIn for conversation and useful content rather than simply reposting press releases.
Is LinkedIn the New Digital Diplomacy? Recorded Live at the British Embassy
Q: Can you talk a little bit about how you decide when something should come from a person, could be the principal, and when something should come from the company page?
The panel says official positions and resources generally belong on the institutional account, while personal experiences and expertise can come from individuals. They recommend selecting the right messenger for each audience and avoiding identical, scripted reposts.
