Critical Reflection #6Part 1: Article SummaryThe article that I elected to focus on in this case is titled, The Impact of Face-to-Face Street Fundraising on Organizational Reputation, by Waldner, Willems, Ehmann, and Giles. The article was published in 2020 in the International Journal of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Marketing.

Social Media in the Business Environment

This is particularly because of the low-cost, user-oriented, and highly collaborative means of communication that continues to evolve through its own impetus.
