I believe that the quality of news through social media has increased and at the same time has decreased, the reason for that is because there a whole bunch of sites you can go through and find news. Even if you don’t mean to search for news you end up finidng it some way some how. Like when you hear something in the public through word of mouth you go right to your computer to find out the true facts about it. That’s where the quality of news has decreased at the same time because some of the sites you might have stumbled by may give you false news.  Like you might run into a few blogs where people have put their own input on the situation which could be true or false.  For example you might search through the Google search engine to find out what happened in a local area around you,  at the same time you might find a situation  where someone has posted their own information and knowledge of the situation.  This isn’t a bad thing but for those who want to search for the absolute truth on the situation you might need to search further on.  

 All in all social media has increased the quality of news. Especially in the sports industry everyday there is something that is going on with sports, for those who follow sports, or are die hard sports fans want the 411 on certain situations or just always the information sent to them they can always result to the social media. There are a ton of blogs that include arguments on sports ranging from games, players, trades, playoffs, and finals. Almost any situation there is always someone willing to express their ideas. At the same time the ability for people to post things on their own will can be very misleading. A lot of people post some absurd things about sports through the internet especially the social media sites. it can get really irritating finding an article about your favourite player about to be released, signed or traded and then you wanna find further information on that very situation and you can never find it because that person who posted that article was lying that’s why social medias quality has increased but at the same time decreased because eyou can never really be too sure about the things that are posted.
