In recent years, since the rise of social networking sites such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Google+, many people have gradually shifted their news sources from traditional news media to social networks, especially breaking news events, which are usually spread quickly through the power of the community. Mashable has produced an infographic to reflect the change in breaking news sources. With the development of social media, many people pay close attention to information on social networks. More and more news is not broadcast on traditional television media by full-time, amateur and local reporters, but spreads on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. For example, the capture and death of Osama bin Laden, the accidental death of Whitney Houston, and the emergency landing of an American Airlines flight on the Hudson River were all posted by ordinary people on Twitter and then spread to the whole world. Social media is gradually replacing traditional news media:
Percentage of news appearing on social networks:
Since 2009, the frequency of traffic jams caused by sharing news on social networks has increased by 57%, and another 9% of adults often get news through Facebook and Twitter on digital devices.
The first person to tweet about Osama bin Laden's death was his next-door neighbor. He originally complained about the noise next door on Twitter, but unknowingly posted one of the biggest news stories of the decade.
Disadvantages of social networks (Cons):
Online news sources are not entirely reliable. 49.1% of the public heard breaking news on social networks, but the source turned out to be fake. Fast does not mean it is true. When you see news on social networks, be sure to double-check to confirm the authenticity of the source. Text/T客邦 Article and image source: mashable |
