Among the forces of socialization and social construction of reality is the force of individual agency to contribute to culture. Croteau and Hoynes (2014) emphasize that new media may provide individuals with the tools to circumvent the mediation of the social world by, in particular, legacy mass media companies. The new media includes social networking, Twitter, and high-speed access to the Internet..
Select as a case study an example of the use of one of these new media—like Twitter, blogs, YouTube, etc.—for the purposes of primary (original) news gathering. Find an instance in which individuals “on the ground” utilize a new media device and/or service to publish original news to mass audiences (citizen journalism).
In a well-written paper:
1. Begin by explaining the news event you have selected.
2. Explain how social media was used to report and distribute news related to the event.
3. Critically evaluate how or if new technology can supplant traditional mass media news gathering. Make sure to address the key issues of credibility and verifiability.
4. Identify the ways in which the “citizen reporter” was constrained by external forces in distributing news related to the event.
