I believe that social media has increased the quality of news. Everyone is using blogs, facebook and twitter to tell all of their information and news about themselves and also about others that they want to share with friends. So if someone is going to hear about exciting news the first place that you will see or hear about this news is from facebook, twitter and or blogs. Most the time when I hear about exciting news its from facebook. Even if its news about famous people you will either see it because your friends posted it somewhere on facebook or you might have a famous person on your twitter account and your following them.
Social media has deffienetly increased the quality of news and information, if it werent for social media half the news that everyone knows they wouldnt know.
Hi Kimbalina
ReplyDeleteI agree with your piece only to point, yes social media has increase the quality of news but, the news that are published are not all reliable. The good thing about this type of reporting is that the global audience now have a say as to having the freedom to publishing news. Citizen Journalism tends to fabricate information to make the stories more interesting and exciting. These popular sites are responsible for connecting with people globally because of social media, by not having a face-to-face contact may pose a situation of distrust in what you read on these sites.
