Impact of Social Media on Journalism

This article addresses the relationship between social media and mainstream media. It discusses examples of how social media such as blogs sometimes complement or compete with traditional media in ways such as highlighting important events or issues that mainstream media misses or chooses not to explore, for example, such as those that relate to gender, thereby providing alternative voices, in that respect. The article also examines speculations about whether or not social media is indeed to an extent changing the way traditional publications/media operate, and also shows the similarities and differences in the way the two mediums behave, as well as the future of traditional media as social media emerge at a fast pace. It poses the question – will mainstream media withstand the dynamism of social media?
