FINDING THE GOOD IN SOCIAL MEDIA

• Reporter Tony Bravo touches on the idea that social media, on the go technology and apps are altering recent fashion show scenes. Bravo attended a fashion show last week where Kenneth Cole featured Instagram in his new line’s advertisement. “The instantaneous, user-generated content has not only further removed the divide between fans and Fashion Week, but it has also fostered a more democratic view,” said Bravo about this social media movement.

• Men’s Health Magazine is taking a new approach in finding a cover model for their November issue. They decided to steer away from their stereotypical male model and open the application up to the public. Applicants can submit their submissions via mhguysearch.com or in person on April 12 at Macy’s in New York City or Los Angeles.

• ABC 22 News ran a story on Maggie Hydler, a mother using social media to aid less-fortunate families near the Miami Valley.  Through the use of Facebook, Hydler recruited several hundreds of people to participate in Cody’s Caring Clothing Charity Swap. Her organization arranges clothing swaps with the needy.
