Eye on Social Media

Brought to you by the Consumedia Investigative News Team.

The following documentary is an in-depth look at how social media is starting to influence the entrenched hierarchical form of contemporary news media. While, the influence that websites like Twitter and Facebook have on our everyday lives is undeniable, the way in which we receive news is no different. The following documentary breaks down what news outlets are doing to integrate these emergent means of dissemination into their established models.
