• Gazette Advertising Director and overseer of social media.
• Uses Twitter occasionally but generally oversees about 5 employees who are in charge of all social media platforms for the Gazette.
• The Gazette uses Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube for advertising, giveaways, to upload content and to open discussion up within the community.
• Twitter will be replaced by whatever newer and better social media platform is invented.
• Ms. Duane is concerned with the misinformation that occurs frequently within the social media universe and hopes that in the future more people will check their sources before posting and reposting.
• She also maintains the hope that social media will allow journalists to elevate their journalistic integrity when posting on social media.
• The fact that Twitter and other social media reaches so many people globally is frightening when there are so many users who are citizen journalists and are posting false information.

Influencer: NICOLE SMARTT
WHO SHE IS & WHAT SHE DOES
Nicole Smartt leaped into her career just out of high school, working as a receptionist at a local staffing firm. Nicole's determination, drive, and commitment allowed her the opportunity to move up the corporate ladder and into a position as a leader and owner. Today, Nicole runs what Inc. Magazine calls "one of the fastest-growing companies in America." Nicole has been featured on platforms such as Forbes, The Washington Post, AOL Jobs, Fox Business, The Huffington Post, and Entrepreneur. She is also a business columnist for her local paper and radio host of Career Conversations on KSRO. In addition to this, she is also a best-selling author for her book “From Receptionist to Boss.”
HOW SHE USES TWITTER
• Self-promotion. Smartt attributes the success of her best-selling book to the use of social media.
• Connecting with others within the business entrepreneur niche.
VALUE OF TWITTER FOR PROFESSIONALS
“Twitter is a great place for arising entrepreneurs to have access to mentors like never before.”
PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF TWITTER
• We live in an ever-changing society that moves from one thing to the next. Although Smartt is not sure about the future of our favorite social media platform, she does speculate that social media trends are moving more towards live-streaming and more image based content.
• Instagram Stories have become a great way for her to connect with her followers and build trust with them, as they can watch her videos on Instagram much like Snapchat.
ADVICE ON USING TWITTER
• Share others content more than your own. No one wants to follow someone who only promotes themselves.
• Sharing relevant and reliable content from those in your niche is a great way to become an expert in your field and build relationships.
• Smartt is also a huge advocate for sharing positivity on social media.
TAKEAWAYS
• Follow those within your niche, share other’s content more than your own, and always keep it positive.
