Organizational Professionals and Social Media

In the field of sports broadcasting/journalism, social media ha changed everything. From the timeliness of news delivery to the relationships that can be had thru social media with athletes and fellow reporters, social media has been a big blessing.

1) Facebook: Groups and fan pages were the first big breakout for sports reporters in social media. It was/is easy to constantly post and update information regarding the game, players, etc to a specific demographic that intentionally keeps up with you.

2) Twitter: The answer to everyone's prayers. Twitter took the pros of Facebook and made them even better without involving the cons. We can tweet immediate info, talk directly to coaches and players and build a distinct following.

3) Blogs: A sports person's heaven. We can talk about/present any information when get our hands on under a blog of our own name. Even a pseudonym, too!

I like to follow Athlon Sports as a favorite in social media. They use the three mediums list above relentlessly and set a good example for our genre of social media.
