Where Do You Get Your News?

I was asked the other day in an interview what my primary source of news was today. The answer: social media.

It's crazy how the Internet has transformed our society. I and many others' main source of news is now our Twitter feed, the blogs we read, and our Facebook news feed. Even news stations are now coming to the realization that many of the stories they are featuring are old news. News stories and even history is being made on Twitter.

It is amazing how far we've come. Twitter began as a podcast catalog and now it is driving pop culture and even our news sources. I and millions of others have completely shifted our use of information and media, creating a crisis for traditional news sources. It also, though, opens an entire new avenue and creative thinking in trying to solve that crisis. Many magazines and news stations have moved to online print and video, but I think there is a better solution out there still. It will be interesting to see where this new age takes us. Pretty soon all our news will come from our social sites.
