Week 10

 This week in class we discussed the relationship between journalism and social media. Journalists use social media platforms as a source for finding many of their stories. I think there are pros and cons to using social media for news gathering. A pro is that social media is good for finding up-to-date news that is in the public interest, however, it is important to make sure you report on a social media story accurately and fairly, and also take care not to take the side of whoever wrote the social media post.
