The Influence of Social Media on the Practice of Public Relations and Marketing
Abstract
The practice of public relations and marketing is quite dynamic, and so is technology and media.
This has highly changed the way communication and engagements within and outside the
organization are handled. Technology has changed the way people receive and handle
information. It has democratized the creation and distribution of information to customers who
have access to the internet, leading to a shift in public relations practices. This study will seek to
establish the influence social media has on public relations, the mainly used social media
channels, the challenges facing the use of various social media tools and platforms, and how the
social media use can be adjusted to improve efficiency and increase effective engagements
within and outside organizations.
