News media has changed from being in newspapers and trying to get the story out first before the other newspapers and having the biggest story out there. We barely see newspapers around anymore; TV news stations have taken over newspapers and actually news magazines too.
Facebook and Twitter have taken over the media on vthe internet, espically Twitter. On Facebook all the news stations have facebook pages now so even if you miss the TV news you can always go on facebook and find out the latest hard hitting news that happened in your area. You can also just go on facebook and know the news before it hits the TV news at night. On Twitter people are always constantly updating what they see, hear, and experience.
In the movie Page One: Inside The New York Times, they talked about how if you were a journalist and didn't have a Twitter than you weren't hitting the news first. Also when you're a journalist you have to go searching for the news on the internet, out in the world, just whatever it takes to be the one who finds the stories first. For example in the movie there was a story on youtube that was filmed and it was "hidden" so the journalist had to go in search for this story on youtube. The internet helps them find their hard hitting stories.
