This article focuses on the impact of social media on journalism. The director of BBC Global news division says that social media was overestimated in the short term, but underestimated in the long-term. He says how although Twitter being a social media platform may include loads of 'information', it is not all journalism, and shouldn't be seen as this.
I believe this is good for users, but bad for those who make news originally i.e. journalists, and editors, as they can easily be made redundant. I believe in this society now. user generated comments are just as important as ''journalism'' as journalists are not being paid as much, and don't believe they can always reach 100% capability. Thus user generated content (social media) changing journalism hasn't got that much of a massive impact to me personally.
