That is something we can say but we do not yet know how it will affect it in the long run. Having this new connection between athletes and the fan is something we shouldn’t take lightly.

I do think that face-to-face was the best form of connection but times change and this social media connection is looking to take the top spot. This media is explosive and can sometimes make you wonder if “you really said that or did someone really say that?” but that’s the world that we live in today.

However, I don’t think it is changing it in a bad way. If anything, for those who know how to use social media it can make the job easier. Now, PR practitioners are going to have to find the balance of forming relationships while using social media.

In the end, face-to-face contact will always be better. However, social media is changing PR constantly in a good way.
