What's your go-to for staying up-to-date on the latest social media trends and news?

​@zach.walker those were some great suggestions. I’d also add: Your Guide to the Marketing Jungle : Social Media Examiner, and they have a very solid newsletter across the marketing spectrum, including social media.

Thank you ​@MisterP !

Hey, Zach. Great Q. +1’ing to the Sprout Social blog and Social Media Today. Shameless plug here: I put together a monthly newsletter via email and LinkedIn that touches on platform feature changes/updates, best practices, industry research & reports, good long-form reads and listens, etc. I regularly draw from insights from Rachel Karten (Link in Bio), Lia Haberman (ICYMI with Lia Haberman) and Jack Appleby (Future Social) who all craft their own really high-quality newsletters around social. For platform changes specifically, Annie Mai-Hodge does a weekly Wednesday list drop on LI that is fantastic. A+ follow. Big fan of “This Week in Social” videos that Jonathan and Laura put out here in The Arb

Anything by Matt Navarra is always updated fairly quickly if you follow him on Threads or LinkedIn. He has a weekly newsletter that breaks down everything going on each week: https://geekout.mattnavarra.com/ 

Also, Taylor Lorenz has a great podcast called Power User https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/power-user-with-taylor-lorenz/id1733535260 that is geared more towards social media politics and news. 

Both are great places to start. 

The ones mentioned so far, plus Rachel Karten’s Link in Bio (well worth the expense) and Lia Haberman’s ICYMI on LinkedIn! I’m a big newsletter fan as opposed to podcasts, but all formats have their merit.

100% ​@julia.gross Podcasts, feed aggregators, and newsletters are all excellent ways of getting information delivered in a timely and targeted way
