Social Content is Clearly Overtaking Traditional Journalism Despite constant warnings from hardcore journalists and reporters alike, it seems that the people now prefer using the social media to remain up-to-date with the latest and greatest in international news, rather than relying on traditional news sources like the New York Times or The Telegraph. There is an obvious reason behind this increase. Almost everyone who knows how to use the internet probably has an account on Facebook and Twitter, and thanks to recent improvements in both the platforms, sharing and accessing latest content on the fly is easier than ever. As such, matters of importance and attention seem to be showing up on our Facebook and Twitter feeds far before they appear on any of the traditional news websites, causing people to flock to them instead. A number of reputed online news sources, including the Huffington Post, are now taking steps to ensure that content, especially news, can be shared across their platforms just as easily as it is on Facebook and Twitter.
