The Use of Social Media in the Media

Journalist, sports-writers, and news organizations can not chase a story. As a matter of fact, there is little room to verify a story. This is because the nature of their reading audience has changed. There used to be a time when the public expected their stories to be digested in the morning with the paper. This ability to wait out the story allowed writers to let the story develop and to find out exactly what the story was before reporting on it. This is no longer the case.

The job of a writer in this day and age is to report on a story almost as quickly as they receive information. There is no time for a story to develop. A lot of this has to do with the use of social media as a viable news source. Sites like Facebook, and more specifically Twitter, have helped to perpetuate the 24 hour news cycle that has been growing all over the world since the explosion of cable television in the late 80′s and early 90′s.

This constant feed into a news source has put a lot of added pressure on journalists. There is so much more room for error now that there is a constant hunger for news from their readers. This means when a writer gets a line on the story they have to make an almost instantaneous decision on whether to let the story out then and there. This means they have to make sure their sources are more reliable than ever before.

Journalist are judged these days on the stories they break as opposed to the quality of the stories they cover. With social media fueling the need for these breaking stories there are more errors in the news then ever before. But the use of social media will continue to present benefits and challenges to journalists.
