Social media has allowed everyday citizens to become authors, editors, and publishers of news and information. Do you believe that social media has increased the quality of news and information or decreased it?

 I believe that social media has increased the quality of news and other information. The reasons I believe this is because back years ago the only way that they received news was by word of mouth, by people talking to the people of their community on issues that have a rises. The other way they would get news or information on stuff that was happen would be written form or any other. Then people started getting computers and television which became the easiest was to get information out into the general public. Many people of the community's view the news of today though the internet, it is easy if you want to see the weather for the next couple days log on to your lap top or download a app on your smart phone. 

The other reason why I think that social media has increased is because everyone is on twitter and Facebook now a days and if there is a lot of ways on those sites news can be delivered without reading a paper or waiting till you get home from work to turn on your television to get caught up on the news of the day or what is happen all over the world. the other great thing is today you don’t have to be a journalist or work for different news companies with social media you can be an average Joe in the community and get the work out their though social media sites such as twitter and Facebook.
Now not only has the increase of social media affected the news and made it easier for people to get news it also has bought the newspaper business not that popular with the people of today’s society. With that being said the increase of social media on news is a huge improvement and easier for people today to get the latest news of their country and the world.
