The Impact of Twitter on Journalism | Off Book | PBS Digital Studios

The world of journalism has changed in the internet era. Newsrooms are significantly smaller now than they were 10 years ago, and news is no longer a once-a-day product, but instead a constant flow of information. The rise of Twitter brought concerns within the industry - would this overwhelming source of direct raw information put professional reporters out of business? Journalists are now faced with the challenge of adapting their roles in this digital era, finding new ways to add value to content, and helping to ensure that the internet is changing our worldview for the better.

What I find the most interesting about this video is that it uses multiple screenshots from the day it was released. That's an interesting editing workflow...

TV shows have been relying a lot on social media for their news. They get a lot of insights from the public through Twitter and hashtagging. Journalism has become faster with the help of networking sites because communication comes very easy unlike before when people have to write letters or call just to provide information.

But then again, bad grammar leads you less popular and I think people gather this over time.
