So just what is social media?
. . . A shift in how people discover, read and share news, information and content
. . . A fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologues (one to many) into dialogues (many to many)
. . . The democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers
. . . Extremely popular because it allows people to connect in the online world to form relationships for personal, political and business use
. . . User-generated content (UGC) or consumer-generated media (CGM).

How social media has changed PR
Essentially, you can control if the message is put out and what the message says…
…on the other hand, you have no control ofthe message. But once it’s out there, it’s up
to you on how you step in, approach the message, and what to say back.
It’s like PR 2.0

Don’t forget the PR fundamentals
• Engage• Be a great communicator -- on and offline • Grammar, punctuation, spelling = good writing• Develop relationships with journalists• Social media is simply a tool to facilitate
communication• PR pros wear many hats• Social media only comes full circle when it “comes
to life”
