Blog #2

I think that social media has increased the quality of news because there are various social tools that allow you to easily access the latest information. But there are some negative aspects to this situation. Now a days people are able to post anything they want, anywhere they want. They have access to various blogs, websites and social tools to voice their opinions. But this doesn't mean that their information is always true. A website simply as Wikipedia can be easily edited with false information as long as that person has an account. It seems like to be a "journalist" these days you don't need to have a college diploma or university degree to be able to publish your opinions for the world to see. In the end, I do believe that social media can be good for the quantity of the news, but because of the public's input on everything, the information may not always be top quality.
