Lucy Blakiston on Social Media as News

By Gemma Styles

This week on Good Influence we're talking about social media as news; communicating effectively with a global audience, the difficulty of separating individuals from their platforms and not being ashamed to admit we care about all sorts of different things.

Sh*t You Should Care About keeps subscribers up to date keep subscribers up to date on new and noteworthy events around the world, and has carved out quite a niche by mixing hard news with a strong and proud lean into pop culture, fandom and light-hearted daily polls.
