3. Social media has become a primary communications tool for Tempe With newspapers becoming smaller and covering fewer stories and stretched TV crews, it became an opportunity for us to become our own communication outlet. We provide written and visual stories with accurate information to our audiences. We also greatly cut our advertising budget, like most other cities. Social media has allowed us to continue to reach our audiences. WHY SOCIAL MEDIA FOR TEMPE?
