It is economical because there are no fees
Social Media keeps supporters of nonprofits in the loop and keeps them up to date on the mission of the nonprofit, according to Zach Halper, Web Assistant of @nonprofittimes #NonprofitSM4
Disadvantages of Using Social Media
Increases vulnerability to defamation attacks
Decreases the effectiveness of organizations communications (if online profiles are not managed and monitored)
