Social media, organizational, and group communications are broad topics that intersect in various ways:

1. Social Media: Refers to platforms and technologies that enable users to create, share, and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. It has transformed how individuals and organizations communicate, market products/services, and engage with audiences.
2. Organizational Communication: Focuses on how information flows within an organization. It includes formal channels (like memos, meetings) and informal channels (like gossip, informal discussions). Effective organizational communication enhances productivity, cohesion, and employee satisfaction.
3. Group Communications: Involves how communication operates within small groups or teams. It explores dynamics like decision-making processes, conflict resolution, leadership styles, and the impact of communication on group cohesion and performance.

These areas are interconnected because social media is increasingly used for organizational and group communication purposes, influencing how messages are disseminated, received, and interpreted within these contexts.
