We are living in a world where we see and hear media everywhere. Savy bloggers are taking over how we receive our daily news. Our first sources would be just looking on our phone. There are apps such as New York Times and Briefing, etc. But the youth tend to use Twitter and Facebook to consume daily news around the world. Especially now in America, we get President Donald Trump’s daily updates through Twitter. I believe he puts too much opinions and ideas out there before thinking twice.
In terms of “journalism”, I agree with Tony Rogers whom wrote the first article about how bloggers can’t replace journalists. Which in my perspective I do agree with him. Bloggers put to much seasoning on the actual raw stories. They provide too much of their opinions then what actually occurred. So its rare to see a blogger with his or her original story. I don’t have Twitter, so I was never familiar with what goes on until President Trump. I use YouTube occasionally, but its crazy how much viewers they get. They probably receive more than a journalists. I was curious and web searched what was the average pay for a journalist. On “Indeed”, I found that the average salary is approximately $40,000 a year. But on the other hand YouTube bloggers receive way more if they have millions of viewers and subscribers.
As in for the Twitter article, it was confusing and not interesting if I can say. Its based on what is Twitter and the statistics and correlation of Twitter and blogging.
