"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.

in 1897, pershing became a tactical officer at west point, and that's where he was given the nickname "black jack." pershing's first name is "john," for which "jack" is a nickname, and he was a white man who commanded black troops. hence "black jack".

after defeating german forces in north africa allied leaders turned their attention to "italy," since this was the location that made the most geographic sense before invading northern europe via france.
