How Social Media Is Reshaping News Media, SMB Dallas August 27, 2015 Meeting

DALLAS - Aug. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Social Media is changing the way journalists work. Looking back in our rearview mirror we can see how technological advances have changed how we get our news. Typewriters out, computers in; passing around newspaper clippings out, sharing stories on Facebook in; watching news at specific times out, streaming news whenever convenient in.

News is available 24 hours a day. It is immediate and journalists now have the ability to establish a one-to-one relationship with their fans through Social Media.

This month, Emmy-winning journalist, Stephanie Lucero will explain how we can stay connected to local news. How to even pitch the right stories at the right time to reporters for maximum impact. And, how reporters strategically use Social Media in this changing world.

Social media is a communication tool which can be used everywhere – for profit and non-profits and must now be included in all business plans.  SMB Dallas recognizes how social media is used in the various news media and how the evolution of technology has positively influenced and changed the industry.  The August 27, 2015 meeting will focus on how social media has reshaped media and how they now report the news.
