With Help from NewsUSA, Use Social Media to Keep Your Brand Relevant

As Media Influence Continues to Shift to Social Channels, NewsUSA is Empowering PR and Communications Professionals to Permeate the Social Web.

Falls Church, VA, May 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- www.newsusa.com — With media influence increasingly shifting to the social web, ample opportunities to reach media by incorporating social media are presented for PR and communication efforts.

A majority of media professionals leverage some form of social media to research stories and find new content, according to a recent Cision and George Washington University study:

- 89% of reporters using blogs
- 65% using social networking sites
- 52% using microblogging sites such as Twitter

By incorporating social media into communication and PR efforts – and developing a strong presence in social channels – brands can remain relevant to media and connect with customers.
