OTTAWA, ON, CANADA – November 3, 2009dna13, the leading solution provider for reputation management and media monitoring, has released a new white paper outlining how to develop and integrate a social media listening initiative into a public relations department’s existing media monitoring activities.

Highlighted in dna13’s white paper ”Listening 101: Tips to integrate social media into your day-to-day- media monitoring” are six steps towards a comprehensive social media listening and engagement program (including how to strategize communications outreach and jump into the online conversation and measure).  The white paper is available to download for free from the dna13 website (www.dna13.com) and dna13 blog.

dna13 will also share this white paper at the Public Relations Society of America’s annual conference November 7-10 in San Diego, CA.  Dave Armon, the new Vice Chairman of dna13 and former President and COO of PRNewswire, will also be available at the conference for interview.
