Social networking has become one of the most important news sources. Every newspaper or magazine has their own Twitter account where they write short topics for the news of the day so that people can choose and read the one they are most interested in. Social media affects ‘the news’ positively.
Another thing that caught my attention was how people started to make their voice heard through social networking. Since last week’s earthquake in Turkey, Twitter became the main place where people cried for help. Everyone posted things like “please send blankets, clothes and tents”. Eastern Turkey has a very cold climate and nearly 600.000 people whose buildings collapsed are freezing, and citizens of Turkey gather all the help they need with the use of Twitter. The best part of this is that it is actually working. All companies, and citizens of Turkey sent so much help to eastern Turkey that I’m pretty sure very soon everything will be fine.
This way, social networking has gained a very important status in our lives. It helps us reach news, and spread it. Social media is the way people communicate even in emergency situations. It’s the place where everyone from anywhere can meet, share views and save our own world.
