Social Media-Social Change


There are a lot of ways in which social media affects our society’s everyday life and one of the main things social media has changed is how we receive our news. Social media allows users to access many different types of news in one area. Social media platforms allow users to be able to follow, read, and share news on different sites. This allows friends or followers of these users to be able to see news stories they might not have seen before. Instead of accessing the news on television or through the news stations website people are able to get ahold of news breaking stories through social media sites. Not only through Facebook and Twitter, but other websites such as Reddit. News is also able to spread a lot faster due to social media websites. By sharing news stories on social media it also gives people an insight into the emotions and beliefs of the people sharing the stories. The rise in popularity of social media is at an all time high and more and more people are sharing the news stories through their social media websites. Social media has become the norm of communicating any type of story, whether its newsworthy or personal.
