Welcome back to this week's round up all about social media and the working conditions of journalist. Social media has transformed the landscape of journalism, reshaping how news is disseminated, consumed, and perceived. Let's dive into the evolving dynamics of newsrooms in the era of social media:

Journalists' Dilemma: Embracing Social Media

While social media presents opportunities for journalists to promote stories, engage with audiences, and discover breaking news, it also introduces challenges such as harassment and misinformation. Despite the benefits, many journalists harbor concerns about the impact of social media on journalism integrity.

The Changing Face of News: Adapting to Online Platforms

Shifting Revenue Models:

• Traditional revenue streams like ad sales have given way to tiered-subscription models, emphasizing the importance of driving online traffic and subscription sign-ups.

Rise of Breaking News Culture:
