Social media has turned the tables, we all journalists.

Gotta give it up to everyone who joined me on my first blog post yeah!! it did give me butterflies to read your comments. now let’s push the envelope and up the game.

Do we still need professional journalist on the age of Social media?

Nop!!! As a social network freak I don’t remember when last did I bought myself a copy of a newspaper, it is pretty simple to understand this if this tsunami of social network has attacked your life. Times have changed the audience have turned into what we call citizen journalist, we no longer depending on professional journalist for current affairs. Immediately when the incidents happens all self-appointed journo have their gadgets in hands ready to capture and be the first ones to break the ICE. Citizen journalist are known as private individuals who do essentially what professionals journalist do report news in all platforms via social networks  www.journalism.about.com

In the past years we have seen cases where media houses kills stories because it does not favor or suits their publication. I think it’s a good thing that social media have allowed us to tell the stories as they are without fear or favor, us citizen journos we not concern ourselves with any office politics. As citizen journalists we not influenced by any sort of intimidation because we don’t need to go explain ourselves to our bosses why we think this story should be published. The only thing we concern ourselves with is getting the word out to the world. Is this a strategy we using to get more followers on social networks?   #ThinkingOutLoud

On  August 5, 2014 my friend and I where going for a bus in Braamfontein to get on campus, as we walk pass Mandela bridge  I felt a strange movements and Linda was like “relax friend its just the trains moving under the bridge” but the movements continued for a while and I started to be worried but I let it pass, by the time I go through my phone and check twitter the was a buzz already about the tremor that just happened and by the time professional journalist updated this news on their publication websites and social networks  it was already old news to us.

It is a good thing that public relation practitioners now publish their press releases on their organizations websites, because sooner or later print publication will end! Social media is taking the world by storm. It is advisable as upcoming public relation practitioners to familiarize ourselves with all these social networks and teach ourselves to interact well with our follower.

Do you have a different opinion or you want to add on this let’s talk
