Interview
How is social media changing news?
Social media is becoming news itself. Instead of broadcasts and events, social media posts, live sessions and multimedia will take over news as we know it, as a matter of fact it has begun. One can not survive as a journalist in this century without acknowledging and understanding the role of social media in news making. Arguements, jokes, memes on social media are already making the news. Major news agencies are already reporting the tweets of famous people.
