Social Media and Its Influence

In today’s interconnected world, we’re all influencers.

Social media plays an increasingly important role in the way people perceive the world and the decisions they make. Though indirectly tied to travel writing, social media’s role in content creation and dissemination is vital to understand — especially because it is a (mostly) self-controlled environment.

If travel writers are active on social media, they should keep several things in mind on their journey to becoming more responsible and intentional in their work.
