Social media has changed the world in many different ways
including news and information. I believe that social media has increased the
quality of news and information. I think this because the news and information
get’s across a lot faster. Before social media came along people would get
their news from a newspaper or TV. Without social media it would have taken
people longer to find out things such as the earthquake in Japan. Life is a lot
easier when businesses and companies are getting the news they want faster
because then they are able to do what they have to do faster. It is clear that
social media has increased the quality of news when more than half of people
get there news from online. There will be more people who will end up using
social media for news after time. When people read the newspaper and watch the
news on TV t doesn’t give them a chance to respond or even answer. However,
reading the news on social media site’s give you a chance to answer or respond
by posting a comment. This gives the chance for people to feel as if they are
apart of the news and not just the audience. Being able to do this also gives
people a chance to edit or publish news that could be going on around them as
well. This could be a bit of a negative aspect though because this increases
the chance of false information being put out there. Even though it has increased the quality of
news, it still means that there are sites out there that are not so reliable
such as a Wikipedia page since they can be made by just about everyone. Social
media has pretty much become apart of our culture and will continue to develop
in the future.
