I posted about it in another thread. It is a beauty too, the story that is.
Rhody...
I agree Astro, this is an example of how quickly "gossip" news can travel. Greg said he had a few examples, hopefully uplifting ones. Perhaps my story will serve as a warning to young people not to post potentially embarrassing things that could affect them in a negative way in the future.Astronuc said:
There is no one specific factor that guarantees a PF post will go viral. However, posts that are relatable, emotionally charged, and/or controversial tend to have a higher chance of reaching a wider audience.
News outlets typically look for PF posts that are timely, relevant, and have a significant impact on the community or society as a whole. They also consider the credibility and reputation of the source before featuring a PF post.
Yes, PF posts can have a significant impact on the reputation of individuals or organizations. A viral post can bring positive attention and recognition, while a controversial or negative post can damage a person or organization's image.
It is difficult to predict if a PF post will make local, state, or national news as it depends on various factors such as timing, relevance, and media interest. However, posts with a strong and widespread response from the public have a higher chance of being featured in the news.
The consequences of a PF post going viral or making news can vary. It can bring attention and support to a cause or issue, but it can also result in backlash, criticism, or even legal actions. It is important to consider the potential consequences before sharing a PF post.
