Social media has increased the quality of news and information or decreased it?
Absolutely, social media has changed our life in
very positive manner and it has really change the way of communication and our
style to get all information. Now you can find so many global news stories on
the social media tools via internet, it is defiantly more convenient that
traditional sources like news papers or television. But the quality that used
to provided by the conventional sources is much better as it is not a broken sentences.
On social media when people more likely to edit or try to show ones opinion, it
is really hard to get real information just by reading someone's post. It is necessary to remember that not all information comes from a
credible and a reliable source. The news
and information that people reads on tools have retrieved from many different sources
which possibly can be unconfirmed. Sometimes very silly rumors spreading can
cause a big confusion and tensional atmosphere in society. Even though one
smart has to go through all news to be able to differentiate between facts,
opinions, and speculations. In most of the saga common man access social media
tools and very likely to add own comments and information that are simply based
on opinions and individual experiences.
Even social media sometimes can cause a big problem
for the people who more likely to trust whatever that is online. There was a
term coined in 1984 called "Culture Jamming". According to this
sometimes social media can be used as a platform of the protest. In June 2012, The Yes Men a culture jamming activist duo
and network of supporters, made a website
called ArcticReady.com a parody website which delivered the activity of Shell Oil
in arctic circle. Which was complete fake and Shell Oil canceled any
connection with it.
Has social media increase or decrease the
quality of the news and information? I
think in the terms of spreading awareness, accessibility and reach ability,
definitely yes. But in the term of another parameter such important as quality
of the news, I firmly thinks no. The detail story, realness and appropriate
information and command are very important for the news quality which social
media stories lacks heavily.

More often people use the tools like Wikipedia or You
Tube to make a new or edit which is already exist story, and remake them by
ones opinion which sometime can be true and sometimes not and this thing can
confuse the reader. Today the world has become so fast that convenience of
electronic devises has trapped us. In this time of world it is very hard to tell a difference between the
real and fake and news and information are not excepts.
