Social media have become a vital tool for artists — but are they good for art?
The above article authored by Carolina A. Miranda, who is a staff writer with the Los Angeles Times, reflects on the relationship between artists and social media. In this era of social media, artists have benefited mainly from social media since they can share their content and push it to a bigger audience. The social media platforms have made their relationship with artist strict since the artists are not allowed to share content that may be sensitive. What I like about the article is that it gives real-time evidence on the artists who have benefited from the use of social media platforms; and the artists who found themselves on the wrong side of social media.
