Social Media has taken the world by storm. One of the radio stations locally has a quip about it. "Sharing your thoughts out loud all day every day would have marked you as crazy. Now, it's called social media."
And in many ways, this is an accurate description of social media sites like Twitter and Facebook and Instagram - you can share your thoughts instantaneously all day on whatever subject you feel like. You can express your like/dislike for a brand. You can talk about how someone/something offended you and more. And you're a target for branding by all forms of social media - notice the ads?
Many people get their news, not always accurate news but still news, from social media. You learn about the latest celebrity deaths (and death hoaxes) through social media. Even though social media isn't the most reliable form of news, it's still that - news.
