Is social media or traditional media when it comes to reliability and effectiveness? To compare them we have to look both advantages and disadvantages. Traditional media, like newspapers and news channels, has been around for ages. They have a reputation for trustworthiness Reporters do their research, fact-check their stories, and follow a strict code of rules. This makes traditional media a safe source for getting reliable information. News can be slow, taking time to be investigated and reported. Also, they might not be as entertaining as social media sources, especially for younger people. In the other hand, this makes social media faster for spreading awareness and getting a quick look on current events. However, reliability is to question in social media. Anyone can post anything, and false information spreads so fast. Double-checking facts and finding the origin of a story can be a real challenge. Also, social media is a place where you only see information that confirms your existing thoughts. Which might be not true. So? Who do we choose? Traditional media offers trust but can be slow. Social media is fast and entertaining but might not be reliable. Maybe the answer is using both! We can rely on traditional media for confirmed news and use social media to see different perspectives and keep up with fast-moving events. But don’t forget, don’t believe everything you read.
