New Persuasions: The Rules Have Changed. New Persuasions is an intriguing and comprehensive presentation that strives to analyze the changes and shifts in communication. Leading public opinion expert, Peter Hart and strategic communications counselor, Dan McGinn, have teamed up to contribute their own personal expertise to this message. Whether they present together or separately, they have both cultivated a full comprehension of the subject matter and give a riveting and thought-provoking presentation.
New Persuasions is an acknowledgement that the world of communications has changed-dramatically, comprehensively, and permanently. Saying "the rules have changed" is, in fact, a little misleading. The real truth is that the old rules have been tossed aside and no one knows what the new rules are.
The signs of change are everywhere. The network evening news broadcasts have lost 50% of their audiences in the last 20 years. At 9:00 p.m., more people are playing video games than watching CNN. Pollsters are finding it increasingly difficult to survey young people because they do not have land-line phones.
So what does all this mean? Simply this: organizations that are listening and communicating as they did 5 years ago, much less 10 years ago, are increasingly out of touch with the people and the issues that matter. Hart and McGinn are deeply vested in the great adventure of understanding what this sea-change means and identifying the strategies and techniques that will succeed in a New Persuasion world.
