The media landscape is constantly changing as social media transforms how we communicate. With real-time, unfiltered access to information on any and every subject, and the ability to add our own opinions to any conversation, social media is challenging the relevance of traditional journalism. However, social media is ungoverned and in our ‘post-fact’, ‘#fakenews’ world, it is difficult to know what information you can trust.
The recent UK and US elections highlighted increasing bias in the press and social media creates an echo chamber where we only engage with those with the same views as our own.
So where do you go when the mainstream media doesn’t represent you and social media doesn’t give you a true version of events?
Below we recommend some interesting journalist voices for you to engage with.
