After watching the interview between Jessie and Jody, this video has benefited me a lot. Jody is a very good and successful sports anchor, so her words are of the great reference value. First of all, she mentioned that social media has helped her a lot in her career. It is social media that has given her new job opportunities and the stories are very inspiring.
As a public figure, when you use social media, you will naturally get more attention that ordinary people can’t get. Because of these high levels of attention, the words and deeds of public figures on social media can have a huge impact. The biggest risk is that some famous people’s inflammatory remarks may lead to serious consequences. For example, Donald Trump’s tweets have caused serious riots in the U.S. Congress last year, which is unprecedented and serious. This is a serious risk caused by a public figure’s misuse of social media. But while risks exist, benefits also exist. For example, Vance mentioned that she has established a good reputation through social media, and her real speech made her get a job offer. Therefore, the more influential people, the more cautious use of social media. If they publish wrong information, the consequences may be irreversible, and the untrue information will cause social instability.
Similarly, PLN being in the public eye can make your voice get more attention. The benefit of this is to let more people know about your professionalism, which is of great help to your career. At the same time, you can also convey your thoughts through PLN, and your thoughts may also help others.

The use of online tools provided by the company is limited because users speak on behalf of the company. For example, reporters speak on social media. They represent not just themselves, but the news agency they work for, so their speech You need to be more cautious. Their remarks will affect the company’s reputation and professionalism.

To establish a reliable PLN, the information published should be true, and in order to ensure the authenticity of the information,
In addition to the fact that the publisher needs to be honest, the source of the information should also be verified again and again to ensure that it is correct before publishing, so as to establish PLN’s credibility.

In addition to the requirements of the publisher, users should also have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of the information. When the correctness of the information cannot be judged, one should actively try to verify its authenticity. Once the information is found to be inaccurate, the publisher should be contacted. This can effectively limit the spread of misinformation.
