Social Media Frenzy

   In the past four blog posts, I have referenced different articles that are both interesting and resourceful to PR professionals and students. These articles are full of variety and focus on different aspects of public relations. With this post, and to conclude my series of 10 articles, I am highlighting my top six favorite articles about social media in public relations. These each look at social media in a different way, raise questions, create conversation, and overall, increase the knowledge of the reader.
