Like the machine with keys that, when pressed, print letters, numbers, or other characters onto paper? Yes, when I was a child. LOL
How is social media changing news?
Social media is reshaping the way people consume news, but not always for the better. With algorithms prioritizing engagement over accuracy, biased reporting and outright falsified stories spread faster than ever. Rage-bait headlines fuel division, drawing reactions rather than informed discussions. Unlike traditional journalism, where fact-checking is a core principle, social media allows misinformation to circulate unchecked, as few take the time to verify sources. As a result, people are increasingly trapped in echo chambers, reinforcing their existing beliefs instead of being exposed to balanced, well-researched reporting.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
To be a journalist means to seek and share the truth in an authentic and genuine way. It requires a deep commitment to research, ensuring that every story is based on verified facts rather than assumptions or misinformation. A journalist must dig beyond surface-level information, question sources, and cross-check details to present an accurate and fair account of events. Authentic journalism is not just about reporting what happens—it’s about uncovering deeper truths, amplifying voices that need to be heard, and holding power accountable. At its core, journalism is a responsibility to the public, built on integrity, curiosity, and a relentless pursuit of the facts.
