Medium is a publishing platform that gives your business another place to show up with thought leadership on your specific industry, products or services. It is mainly used by our sales and marketing department. We use it craft stories and insights regarding anything as it relates to our field. By doing so, it helps present us as a thought leader and potential problem solver for the reader.
Pros
User-friendly interface and editing features
Easy to categorize articles to ensure they are found
Change tracker helps review changes before article is published.
Cons
Due to how easy it is to publish, there is a lot of irrelevant noise in this space
As with most social media sites, most users tend to troll or just be angry - could be better vetting of members
Fake news: it is also hard to tell what is real journalism and what is opinion based
Likelihood to Recommend
I think despite the fact that it is subject to the content created by a variety of people with good and bad intentions in mind, it is a great space to have your voice heard. When used in the business setting, it allows companies and product-enthusiasts to go beyond 140 characters to really give their take on why you should hear what they have to say. For true, verified thought leadership, it's still best to get published in an industry magazine though.
