Comments on: Oxfam Mexico: pushing the limits http://sipanine.tubescodecontent.com/2009/10/12/oxfam-mexico-pushing-the-limits/ Fall 2009 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 03:48:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: MARIANA BARRERA http://sipanine.tubescodecontent.com/2009/10/12/oxfam-mexico-pushing-the-limits/#comment-5 MARIANA BARRERA Sun, 18 Oct 2009 16:49:15 +0000 http://sipanine.tubescodecontent.com/?p=27#comment-5 As far as I understood, they are linking their website to their Facebook and MySpace accounts through RSS feeds to spread information about their work and engage their "friends" to their causes. If there is any social mobilization or expression they want to call to, these two tools have also proved useful as in the recent case of Día del maiz (day of the corn.) Oscar Alarcón told me that what they are mainly interested in is to have feedback about the issues that concern the youth the most so that they can offer more information about them, for instance through their podcast. As for You Tube and Flickr, the main interest is to let their sponsors know about their work, so the editorial criteria in this case attends this particular need.

I am curious to know how Oxfam decides what to post on its blog/Facebook and what they hope to get from their viewers. Can you tell us a bit more about the editorial process and long-term goals?
