Goal

To raise awareness and provide education on new media and its applications, and to become a resource for new media information.

Activities

  • Survey NTCC members, state health departments and quitline vendors to determine current levels of awareness, knowledge, understanding, and use of new media.
  • Identify key sources of new media information, including listservs, reports, conferences, blogs, etc. Use this information to develop a new media framework.
  • Conduct background research to determine new media trends, usage among various audiences, skills and resources needed to participate, and other pertinent information.
  • Develop fact sheets and case studies to inform the field on best practices in new media.
  • Continue and expand the Wikipedia project by adding new content, as needed, to promote tobacco cessation, and conducting a rolling review of pages with tobacco cessation-related content.
