Introduction

The beginning of social media websites has opened a new world to publishers especially in the music and news industry. This blog was created to explore some of the benefits and downsides that publishers are facing with social media, how current publishers are taking advantage of this platform, and defines what social media is. The writings and links in this blog reflect some of the upsides and downfalls that publishers currently face. Although the list of articles is in no way complete, I believe it's a good representation of the frustrations and triumphs that publishers are facing with social media.
