Impact of Social Media on Journalism Over-hyped??


Though the perception that social media will radically change the ways in which news is being delivered is true, this perception does not take into account the dynamics of Journalism. Journalism is not only the delivery of news but also includes creative and intellectual insights on the news. Journalism is a process of adding judgment, analysis and explanation, to put the news in perspective. These inherent characteristics of Journalism cannot be trivialized by the onslaught of social media. Mainstream media, being fully aware of the trends of social media, are using it appropriately. The main stream media houses are here to stay.
The article (Link) explores impact of social media on Journalism. 

Hope Some of you will  find it interesting as i did !

Cheers
