News on the tweet

1) Respected news brand is good for twitter because they would be known for trustworthy information considering that they can't alter the story as this would risk their reputation of respect. As well as that those that are verified are also good so that they could then try to combat the fake news that has been around social media such as twitter.

2) Twitter is one of the biggest social media sites. It would be odd if big news brands didn't use this ease of sharing their stories on to the platform to garner more of a following. This could also result in more readers from all over the world making it easier to access. This could also mean that a younger audience could also be tailored into the news since they would most likely have twitter accounts and these stories that are shared will help inform them.

3) I do agree to some extent, but it is more of a competition rather than a good thing for news companies. I agree with the fact that there is a lot of revenue combined from both print and online when consumers take in the news. However, it doesn't block out the fact that online is harming print and is continuing to do so. This gives off an everlasting effect that the online world has done more bad than good when it comes to news corporations. 


5) I'd say that gossip might harm the quality of journalism because of the joking manner that might sometimes alter to the truth which might deceive the audience as some satirical articles might look professional enough to the extent that the audience might believe it.

7) I believe that there has been both a good and bad impact. The reasons why Twitter has become a good platform for traditional newspaper companies is because it is the only appropriate social media site that actually allows users to interact with them and actually is notified when a post has gone up. It gives a safety for the number of people who are going to read their latest story as it has been sent to their subscriber's account. On the other hand, Twitter has had some negative impacts on news corporations such as complaints. People who have a complaint or demand answers from these institutions essentially have more power and authority over them when using Twitter as they are viewed by other fellow Twitter followers who follow the same institution. This essentially can instigate a matter and turn it really badly.

8) I believe that the more sources that trust worthy, it will be a good way of helping new brands in the future when creating stories or publishing them. Currently, Facebook isn't currently a safe place for news brands to collect stories or information in general. Sites like social media need to be much safer and only then can the protection be lifted to allow news corporations to take use of these sites.
