Social Media

We live in a world where communication has surpassed all the frontiers and speed doesn’t seem to be a problem. Nowadays, it is very easy to communicate with other people in other parts of the globe; in fact, it is easier to express ideas and make them come true. Social media is very effective in many ways, for example: free publicity, marketing and brand awareness; communication in other platforms, and contact maintenance with those that are physically far among many more; however, it can be dangerous at the same time.

“I just wanted to inform the people in my network what was going on,” said Andrea Duenas, Latin Billboards 2012 volunteer. “I didn’t think carefully in the consequences.”

The night of April 26^th, 2012, Andrea Duenas was volunteering as a talent escort at the Latin Billboards 2012. She was very happy for such opportunity, as her choice of career was music business. She encountered with lots of Hispanic singers and famous personalities she never thought she was going to meet.; however, things didn’t end exactly how she wanted.

During the presentation of Paulina Rubio, the Mexican worldwide known singer, Andrea decided to take a picture and recorded with her mobile. One of the rules explained to her was that as an employee she was not allowed to do such thing because she was representing Telemundo Network and The Billboards.  

In a matter of minutes she has posted the video, as well as the pictures, and Andrea didn’t realized that one of her network friends was one of the producers. He saw the picture and video and dint think twice in taking actions.

Andrea was not only asked for her mobile to delete the picture and video, but also was asked to leave the place.

Those interested in working in the entertainment environment must understand that there is an image the must protect, and social media can be very dangerous.
