Digital media author Mercedes Bunz has weighed in on how a new era of collaborative journalism has emerged as a result of social media.
She identifies in her post five points that define the impact of social media on journalism:
1. Combinations of editorial judgment and social curation.
2. Pressure to stay away from a paywall in order to stay social.
3. The rise of collaborative work.
4. The emergence of "statistical truth," a bigger-picture perspective on facts.
5. Feedback turning into dialogue.
She believes the opportunities of social media could make journalism more reliable than ever.
