Social media, journalism and wars: ‘Authenticity has replaced authority'

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/nov/05/social-media-journalism-wars-authenticity



This article was on how social media has taken over the news, it looks at citizen journalism. The article looks at how traditional journalism has changed because of social media sites and people posting about the news. "The growth of social media has changed the way news organisations cover conflicts around the world, but traditional journalistic values are still vital." This is a quote taken from the article, I found this to be quite interesting as what it is telling us is that the way news is being shown and how news is portrayed may have changed, however the the value, and the content will still be how it has always been.
