Abstrakt

The evolution of social media has dramatically changed the way people access daily news updates. Instead of buying printed newspapers, nowadays, more and more people are getting news through social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, BuzzFeed, among others. As social media has become one of the dominant and growing sources of news and information for millions of people, it has also turned journalism’s traditional one-way communication into two-way conversations where journalists find themselves being able to actively engage with audiences. This article shows how the way journalists and news organizations around the globe create and deliver news have changed to adapt to the new norms.
