Social media can be a really great thing for businesses, organizations, sporting teams, events, and many more. It gets the word out faster and to more people. It provides a much larger and broader reader base than media outlets alone. Like these teams, businesses, organizations, or whatever it might be, get the word out fast and in an engaging way. People can get instant feedback on social media. This is another great benefit that people receive. Another really important thing to not forget, most social media is free!
