A new international non-profit think tank called the Society for New Communications Research (SNCR) was launched today. From the press release:
The group was formed to provide a forum for research and education and a source of expertise focused on the broad theoretical and practical implications surrounding new communications methodologies, tools and technologies.
Jennifer McClure, who runs the New Communications Blogzine, is SNCR's Executive Director and she has brought together a mix of academics and business professionals to study and research online social media and their impact on society. I've joined as an "honorary senior fellow".
Much of my work is focused on the impact of new media on corporations. One of the things that is clearly missing from this field is a solid body of research and best practices information. I'm very excited about the formation of SNCR and believe their research will help us all in better undertanding and working with new media.
Here is The Society for New Communications Research's blog.
