Social media has undoubtedly engulfed the whole world under its gargantuan stature since the turn of the century. It has not only brought about rapid, mind-blowing and unforeseen changes in the modes, means and methods of communication but it has also made the life complicated for industrial media. It won't be an iniquitous to state that Social Media has provided a much needed check on the mainstream media. It has revolutionized the communication patterns across the globe.
