SXSW 2012 - Evolution, Creation and Extinction (of the organization)

Evolution, Creation and Extinction (of the organization)
Event	Interactive 2010
Format	Panel
Organizer	Ted Fickes – The Wilderness Society
Description	Organizations, political campaigns, newspapers. While they're scrambling to figure out "new media" alternate entities spring up around them that exist only online. Is one better than the other? Are older groups evolving quickly enough? Is it better to start from scratch? Will new "online" groups drive their predecessors to extinction?
Questions Answered	How are older organizations adapting, especially with respect to communications and marketing? Are some old-school organizations doomed? Are newer 'online' organizations really better off? Are public and private resources being put to best use supporting "brick and mortar" advocacy organizations? What is a "new online" organization? How do you spot it in the wild? What can old organizations learn from new if they are to survive? What should new organizations be learning from those that were around before "the internets"? As a professional new media person are you better off working for old or new organizations or does it matter? Is this old-new thing really an issue at all? How is the economy affecting old vs new organizations?
Level	Beginner
Category	Career / Work Concerns, Community / Online Community, New Technology / Next Generation, Non-Profits, Social Networking
