'Media power' means here the concentration of symbolic power in media institutions, particularly
those of television, radio and the press (the common-sense definition of 'the media'), although the long-
term impact of new media on media power is considered.
1. Business Strategy - It’s a trend that is already spreading to businesses beyond the newsroom,
whether it be because of digital marketing or new customer service communication channels.
2. Banks of the Future -Social media is transforming banking relationships in very significant ways,
from improving customer service to allowing users to send money to others via online platforms. New
financial technology companies are using social media to help people simply open a bank account.
Social media can even impact your ability to get a loan.
3. Health Care & Public Health -Social media has been responsible for relevant changes in both
personal and community health, especially by making it easier for large numbers of people to rapidly
share information.
