There
is no need for introduction, social media nowadays are considered as the most
powerful source or medium of information and news. It is simply because of latest
information and news that spread and reach people much faster through social
media than the news network from TV and radio.
Most
people nowadays use social media like Facebook and Twitter more than watching
or reading or listening to the conventional news sources. Social media users
can immediately show and share and receive vivid description of latest news in
term of pictures, videos and related details. Through this ‘information
sharing’, friends, families and followers get lightning speed access to the
latest news only with a simple touch on their smart phones which are compulsory
to the Generation Y. It is not impossible or too much if one day the entire
news station around the world will channel their news to social media networks.
People
like and believe more on social media especially when they not only can read
but also give comments on the news by providing more evidence and also related
‘link’ of the news. And the best part is some of the comments are actually
written and shared by those who are actually experiencing the related events or
incidents which make the news from social media are more reliable.
But,
great source comes great responsibilities, meaning people or social media users
just need to know how to control their sources of information as they might
turn ugly especially when it comes to
news that are 99% myth rather than the real facts.
