Social Media Grows Up

In his article titled “The Maturation of News on Social Media,” Business Wire’s Vilan Trub proved a theory of mine – social media is growing up with millennials.

For example, Facebook started as a way for millennials to connect, but it has matured along with its initial demographic and become a popular platform for learning, sharing and commenting on breaking world news.

This year, Facebook partnered with nine select news organizations, allowing them to publish stories directly to the social media site. As it gains more credible sources, Facebook is continuing to establish itself as an information resource for all generations.
