![The Key to Social Media
"When there were just a few platforms, means of
communications were controlled by governments and
corporations… [that] paradigm shattered. New
technology has made it possible for every one to be a
broadcaster. Anyone can take the stage and hold it
depending on their content. We [UNICEF] decided that
we should get involved in as many of the new
platforms for delivering our messages about children
as we could.“
