Nowadays,
we've got access to information whenever and wherever we want, and anyone can
share this information on the internet and give his opinion about it.
I
believe that the fact that everyone can become a reporter has been really bad
for media. Newspapers and television channels have always given the news the
way they've wanted, the way they wanted it to be given. Usually influenced by
politics, that's why I barely watch television now, not even the news. If
something happens you can get more information and way faster across the
internet than watching the news.
I
remember that a few months ago, when there were the Paris attacks, that I first
knew about them because I read it on Twitter and I was up until 5 a.m, watching
the news on one screen and with my Twitter timeline on the other one.*
It
still happens in some countries that the local government controls television
and which and how the information is given to the people, that way they have
their citizens controlled, but thanks to the internet we now have access to
whatever we want, and to the truth, not to what they want us to think.
