What effect has social media had on news and journalism?

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit, social media has given news and journalism a complete facelift, folks! It's like a rollercoaster, sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down, but boy, it's always thrilling! Social media has not only made news more accessible, it's like having a newsstand in your pocket, only without the old man yelling "Extra, extra!" It's also made news faster than a greased pig at a county fair, with updates and stories being posted in real time. But let me tell ya, it's not all sunshine and rainbows, sometimes it's more like a game of telephone, with fake news spreading faster than a rumor in a small town. So, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but it's definitely put a wild new spin on the news and journalism world!
