The way professionals write for social media is, and should be, different than writing for other media. Additionally, each social platform should be treated independently rather than be lumped into the same group of social media when building a communications plan. Finally, the way each platform works from a paid (ad) perspective and an organic perspective can vary wildly.  

 Respond to the following questions as they relate to your experience with social media. Provide examples from your own experience to support your response:  

• Assess the impact of social media on communication and share how you think it will continue to evolve.
• Share your experience of how social media transformed the way you communicate with friends, family, and even strangers.
• Explain how your views on various issues have changed because of social media. Do you find your views differ from those of people in your community?
• Explain whether you feel social media and mass communication have ultimately been positive or negative regarding the way we communicate and spread information?
