Los Medios Sociales como una herramienta estratégica para la Comunicación Corporativa
Companies around the globe are embracing and adapting social media for many different
intentions: customer service, marketing, internal communications, public relations or
corporate social responsibility, etc. It is now a reality that social media is channging the way
stakeholders and companies communicate daily, providing opportunities for collaboration,
participation, interactivity, and engagement. Therefore, social media is conceived today in
the corporate world as a strategic communication partner, driving new and unique
possibilities for organizations to engage stakeholders in conversations. We are witnesses of a
new digital era where consumers are becoming active users rather than passive individuals,
changing dramatically how society operates. But these useful technological tools are
employed widely and precisely by corporations in order to facilitate and improve
communications? This research aims to discover the usage of different social media
platforms by Puerto Rican companies. A content analysis was performed to the Facebook
and Twitter official profiles of the top 400 locally owned Puerto Rican companies of 2009.
The principal objective was to find if social media sites were mainly used as a strategic tool
for corporate communication that can enhance stakeholder participation and engagement.
Results showed that Puerto Rican companies are not employing social media platforms for
improving communications with different stakeholders, failing to take advantage of the
enormous possibilities that social media has for communication.Instituto de Investigación en Relaciones Pública

The limits to regulating social media – a dualist construction of the technical and philosophical
In positing a narrative involving the limits to regulating social media there are two fundamental variables that must be considered. The first involves possibly one of the greatest challenges of all that the State faces to introducing additional regulation regarding the use of social media – this relates to the physical barriers to regulation such as the ability of enforcement agencies to police the millions of individual interactions occurring simultaneously around the globe
Learning from Jesus’ Wife: What Does Forgery Have to Do with the Digital Humanities?
McGrath’s chapter on the so-called Gospel of Jesus’ Wife sets aside as settled the question of the papyrus’ authenticity, and explores instead what we can learn about the Digital Humanities and scholarly interaction in a digital era from the way the discussions and investigations of that work unfolded, and how issues that arose were handled. As news of purported new finds can spread around the globe instantaneously facilitated by current technology and social media, how can academics utilize similar technology to evaluate authenticity, but even more importantly, inform the broader public about the importance of provenance, and the need for skepticism towards finds that appear via the antiquities market

Social Media as a Pedagogical Tool in Class: Tiktok Case Study
Social media has been an ever-growing medium with the expansion of multiple platforms and user adoption around the globe. According to Hootsuite’s Annual Digital Data Report for the year 2022, there are 4.62 billion users of social media across the globe, with a 10.1% increase from the subsequent year. This paper aims to explore Tiktok platform as a pedagogical tool for learning in the classroom for University Students in an "Online Behavior Class" at the American University in Cairo.
Results show that Gen-Z University students indeed prefer integrating social media to their educational experience, and even prefer expressing through short video content over other assessment alternatives.
Beyond that, short video content creation allowed them to express more creatively, and also reflecting on the class curriculum through using short video content production, was a more effective method of material reflection than other reflective methods
Social media usage: 2005-2015
Nearly two-thirds of American adults (65%) use social networking sites, up from 7% when Pew Research Center began systematically tracking social media usage in 2005. Pew Research reports have documented in great detail how the rise of social media has affected such things as work, politics and political deliberation, communications patterns around the globe, as well as the way people get and share information about health, civic life, news consumption, communities, teenage life, parenting, dating and even people’s level of stress.
A special analysis of 27 national surveys of Americans across the past decade documents this substantial spread of technology throughout the population, although the overall number of users of social networking sites has leveled off since 2013.1 At the same time, there continues to be growth in social media usage among some groups that were not among the earliest adopters, including older Americans.
The figures reported here are for social media usage among all adults, not just among those Americans who are internet users. In many previous Pew Research reports, the share of social media users has been reported as the proportion of internet users who had adopted such sites, rather than the full adult population, which continues to include a relatively small share (currently 15%) who still remain offline. In this report, a broader picture of the American landscape is presented, and so the figures are based on the entire adult population.

JOURNALISM AND SOCIAL MEDIA: THE TRANSFORMATION OF JOURNALISM IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND ONLINE NEWS
The evolution of social media has dramatically changed the way people access daily news updates. Instead of buying printed newspapers, nowadays, more and more people are getting news through social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, BuzzFeed, among others. As social media has become one of the dominant and growing sources of news and information for millions of people, it has also turned journalism’s traditional one-way communication into two-way conversations where journalists find themselves being able to actively engage with audiences. This article shows how the way journalists and news organizations around the globe create and deliver news have changed to adapt to the new norms. Article visualizations
Beyond political Islam: exploring discourses and uses of three popular global Islamic social media initiatives
This study explores the discourses employed in three growingly popular global Islamic social media pages (GISMP), and examines their potential impact on identities of young Muslim followers across the globe. The initiatives are; Celebrate Mercy, Productive Muslim and Quran Weekly. The three sites are among today’s most popular Islam-based social media pages. The analysis highlights each site’s discourses about the Muslim identity, relevance of Qur’an to youth, and representation of central figure, Prophet Muhammad- as well as how the pages address issues like terrorism, violence and the religious other. The aim is to examine how major Islamic tenets are being propagated to masses of Muslim youth around the world today via social media, how this influences our understanding of the uses of social media, and how this potentially influences followers of the world’s second largest religious population. A survey of site users was conducted to examine the uses/reactions of followers towards the initiatives’ work. The survey yielded 900 responses from Muslim youth in eight different regions across the globe. Additionally, in-depth interviews were conducted with the pages’ founders to provide insight into their motivations and how they see their work influencing both page followers and the global Muslim community. Survey results illustrated that mainstream Muslim youth find leaders of Muslim majority countries unrepresentative of Islam, and feel under-represented in traditional media. They use social media outlets to reclaim their own narrative, express and boost their Muslim identity, and connect with members of the global Muslim community, the ummah. The study shows how certain GISMP have the potential to indirectly counter anti-Islam discourses in mainstream traditional/social media outlets. The study also points to the potential influence of popular GISMP in connecting and mobilizing young Muslims around the world
