Social media has significantly impacted journalism in several ways. It has allowed for immediate global reach of information as well as constant interaction between journalists and audiences. This has democratized the field and given audiences a bigger voice, but has also raised issues around verifying information and differentiating between citizen and professional journalism. Going forward, journalists will likely take on more of a curating role, researching, interviewing, and promoting high quality content while leveraging social media tools and crowdsourcing to provide real-time coverage and tell stories.
