Social media is for finding out where your friends and family are hanging or local events. Not as a source of news and information about world events.

It has other uses too I’d say. Great for music and movies in both discussion and promotion. But for journalism, it’s awful. I’ve worked for a newspaper before. Granted it was my college one but I definitely think it is prudent to be accurate as possible. Social media’s merger with journalism gave us the clickbait and we all for it but it’s terrible when it comes to political journalism.
