How is social media changing news?

Users often encounter breaking stories on their social media feeds, leading to a shift in how they consume news.2.Impact on traditional media:The rise of social media has had a significant impact on traditional news outlets, leading to downsizing and closures.3.Algorithms and personalization: Social media algorithms curate our feeds based on our behavior and preferences, often creating an echo chamber effect.4.Fake news and misinformation:Social media can spread unverified or misleading content, leading to concerns about misinformation and disinformation.5.News fatigue and infodemic: The rise of social media as a news source has also brought about news overload and an information pandemic or ‘infodemic’.
