Social Media is Changing the news industry!!!
News agencies around the world are constantly challenged with finding and keeping consumers of their published content. Traditional news sources relied on an intentional decision by the consumer to receive the content of the publisher. It was an individual decision between the consumer and the news source. In recent years, social media sharing and linking has become mainstream, and the average consumer has access to share their favorite content with many people just by clicking a button. The consumer has become a free marketing engine for the news agency by sharing, liking, and commenting on publications. The news finds them. However current minor News agencies have not yet adapted to technology that consumers use have filed for bankruptcy, closed their doors, or merged with competitors. Social Media is changing the entire news industry.
