For our iMovie project, we discussed social media working as a news outlet. Buzzfeed already has their own news staff so social media is obviously getting there. We went around asking students how they get their news, what social media sites they hear their news from, when the last time was that they watched the news or read a newspaper, and if they see social media outlets getting their own news teams. I chose this topic because with all the political debates going on, I’ve been hearing about everything from Snapchat – which is not very “adult-like” of me! I wanted to hear about how other students get their news because none of my friends watch the news or read the paper.
