Abstract
Social networking sites spread information faster than any other media. Over 50% of people learn about breaking news on social media. 65% of traditional media reporters and editors use sites like Facebook and LinkedIn for story research, and 52% use Twitter. Social networking sites are the top news source for 27.8% of Americans, ranking close to newspapers (28.8%) and above radio (18.8%) and other print publications (6%). Twitter and YouTube users reported the July 20, 2012 Aurora, CO theater shooting before news crews could arrive on the scene, and the Red Cross urged witnesses to tell family members they were safe via social media outlets.
In the same breath one could argue that social media enables the spread of unreliable and false information. 49.1% of people have heard false news via social media. On Sep. 5, 2012 false rumors of fires, shootouts, and caravans of gunmen in a Mexico City suburb spread via Twitter and Facebook caused panic, flooded the local police department with over 3,000 phone calls, and temporarily closed schools. Shashank Tripathi, tweeting as @ComfortablySmug, spread false information in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy by posting on Twitter that the New York Stock Exchange was flooding and that the power company would cut off

    Social Media Influence On Presidential Elections

    In today’s social media it is easier for people to get their word out to the people faster. This past election has influenced heavily by social media along with other major new events earlier in the year. Among 18-29-year-olds, nearly two-thirds said social media is the most useful means of learning new things about politics according to a study released last year by the Pew Research Center (Perrin, 2015). This past year has shown a drastic increase in the use of social media among young adults and even people in their 40’s and 50’s when it comes to following the news and current events. 65% of american adults use social networking sites and young adults 18-29 are sitting at an all time high of 90% according to the Pew Research Center (Perrin, 2015). We all saw Donald Trump use social media to his advantage during this past election and many predict this will be a new trend in…

    Qualitative Research

    Nowadays，network media becomes increasingly important day by day. More and more people have been giving up newspapers and TV news and keeping up with events in profoundly different ways, such as social media. With the network media, news travels with lightning-like speed and what has been a small or regionalized crisis years ago can quickly become a global crisis today. Take Boston Marathon Bombings as example, most people first knew the bombings from social media, such as Twitter and Facebook. They saw and transferred photos of the scene at the finish line and photos of wounded people. After the bombings happened, many citizens that directly involved the investigation through networking sites to find the missing persons and update the latest developments of the event.

    Social Media: An Avenue of Lies and Deception

    The methods by which people communicate have changed and evolved with time so that some of the values in face-to-face communication have been lost. Body language is now found through the tone of text, and face-to-face conversations have transformed into typing messages and sending photos. Of the top ten most popular websites, as tracked by Alexa (a web information company), half are social networking sites (Golbeck). The popularity of using social networking sites continues to expand with time, and as technology grows, easier access to such sites is increasing, ultimately diminishing face-to-face communication. There is no denying that social media allow people to remain connected, near or far from one another, but there is controversy regarding the effects they have on people and on their relationships with others. Therefore, the impact of a person’s ability to access social networking sites is negatively affecting that person’s relationships with other people in their lives, whether it is family members, friends, intimate relationships, or the relationship within self.…

    “Privacy and Social Media” by Theodore F. Claypoole, informs readers of the ways social media has developed security for its users over time. The original intention of social media cites were to share personal experiences, information and opinions on a public domain. Websites such a Google, Facebook and Twitter to name a few began to abuse the rights and sell personal information to companies who would use it to exploit the users. Individual states are beginning to take more and more steps to ensure that the private information that people put onto social media cites stays confidential.…
