UK Elections
Following the elections results today on Twitter, made me realize (again!) that the social media channels have really transformed the way traditional media works. They have also changed the way we - the receivers of their message, react, understand, look for more info.
There were a lot of different hashtags all over the place today. Journalists were competing against each other more fierce than ever before… It might be the same old competition between the different media providers, but this time the audience was watching right behind their shoulders… I can’t understand how in such entirely new environment, there are still journalists who refuse to accept that Twitter is the new big thing and that they have to be there, before it’s too late…
