News on Social Media Platforms
A few popular social media platforms are Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Facebook. Not only do they allow people to communicate with each other, but people also use them to get their daily news. However, the method which you can received your news on these platforms varies. For example, Twitter
uses hashtags and a character limit of 140. This means the viewers can see many short bits of news and be exposed to various topics. Snapchat on the other hand has attracted people to use this social media with its claim that what you post is only ‘temporary’. In addition, Snapchat and Instagram have recently added a storytelling feature that encourages "users to draw, write, sticker, filter their pictures to add a personal touch" while also making the experience more fun and livelier. This encourages
people to spread the word through contacts, but there are also sections that lets you see what is currently trending (also a feature on YouTube - another popular platform to get news from) allowing you to be more aware of what is happening around you. [3 images, 2 links, 1 quotation, 179 words]
