2. Social media allows more focused or specialized content in the newsletter
3. Social media helps build the newsletter mailing list
4. Social media produces more exposure for the newsletter content
5. Content is repurposed and remixed between the newsletter and social media
6. Social media extends the conversation started in the newsletter, and vice versa
