By: Kayla Speros News is taking a new way of travel in our media driven society. Social media is taking over the industry which newspapers and TV used to dominate. It is no longer just the obvious forms of social media like Facebook, but has even made its way to Snapchat. Recode.net says that President Donald Trump plays a big role in the switch. I’m sure we all know how social media “obsessed” President Trump is. We’ve all heard about the tweets! He doesn’t make them easy to miss. This has brought Twitter up to the third most used social media cite to gather news from. The Pew Research Center says that it’s not even the younger generation alone. 55 percent of Americans 50 or older say they get at least some of their news from social media. Social media is giving us a new, easy, accessible way to get news. That seems great right? And it is! For the most part. Social media has made it just as easy to share news as it is to receive it. This gives everyone a platform to share whatever they want to share. Even if it isn’t necessarily true. Just something to keep in mind while scrolling though all the new political drama.
