"A restaurant server uses Twitter to promote safer shoes for food service workers; the hazard she points out is later covered on the nightly news" is an example of social media influencing mainstream media content.

Here, the social medium is Twitter, and the mainstream medium is the nightly news broadcast.

We are told that the server posted on Twitter that safer shoes were needed for people who work the same kind of job as hers. She mentions a particular danger or risk associated with her job, against which safer shoes would be necessary. We then learn that the evening news (probably on TV or the radio) talk about this danger to food service workers. We can assume that the news agency got this information through Twitter, thanks in part to this restaurant server.
