It is essential to begin by understanding various social media sites as peoples understanding is not the same and the ways they can enhance the work journalist do. I feel as if social media is a temporary thing, therefore I think there is still a need for journalism. I mean it is also a challenge to people in rural areas who are not familiar with social networks and it is also a challenge for old people, if we rely on social media as our sources. Journalism intakes research, information, current updates as well as reports that are conveniently brought to us through electronic & print media which are to large number of people, this accommodates all young people and old age group unlike social media which accommodates only young people. So if we rely on social media what will happen to those old people who just sit and listen to radio the whole day? think again,we still need journalists in this era of social media to accommodate everyone.
