Social Journalism

Description

Social journalism is concerned with using social networking platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to gather and share news and information with a broader audience. Social journalism allows for greater participation in the news process, enabling people to share and discuss news events, and contributing to the democratization of journalism. This includes how networks and mobile services communicate with the public through social media and other platforms. This book is a comprehensive guide to social journalism and how to use social media platforms for journalism purposes. Students, journalists and media professionals will find this book to be an invaluable resource.
