Are social networks and social media the same thing?
Social media provides the tools and platforms for social networking to take place, but social networking is the actual practice of using those tools to connect with others.
Depends on the usage.
"Social Networks" can be a reference to the various social media services available online, but they can also be an reference to the collection of social connections one has offline.
