  • What are the benefits of a diverse and inclusive PLN in social media sharing that understands where you are coming from with messaging that impacts the community?

A diverse and inclusive PLN is very beneficial in social media sharing that understands. It attracts a wide range of people from different social backgrounds to participate in projects and share their ideas in the online and offline community projects. People can engage in the public communications at anytime at anywhere. The online platform of social media allows them to access information.

What’s more, a diverse and inclusive PLN can increase people’s participation and trust in the community. Miller (2021) mentions in the video that, PLN is a straightforward way for people to share their message in a understandable and respective way. PLN creates a platform for people to continuously take part in the community projects. People can search related information of introduction, process, methods and results. Step by step, it increases people’s sense of trust.

In addition, PLN also increases the interaction of community members and the government. According to Clark (2011), community media outlets have been championing the way of inclusive and participatory ethos for many years. Community members can share their understanding of the current events and submit comments and responses to city improvement operations. This kind of communications are in real-time and effective. PLN provides the most convenient way for community members to interact with the government. It is a tool for public participation.
