Social Media Editors Debate Whether Social Media Editors Are Still Necessary (VIDEO)

WATCH: Do Newsrooms Still Need A Social Media Editor?

Rob, Anthony De Rosa, Matthew Ingram, Liz Heron and Kerstin Shamberg join host Mike Sacks to discuss the role of the social media editor, and whether this role is still vital to the modern-day newsroom.
