You can always find one truth in a hundred lies. In other words, despite the fact that something can be posted over and over again with different versions, there will always be one true fact. Unless of course you count gossip.
Since the dawn of social media, information can get out much faster. Both professional and citizen. But to the point, I believe that the quantity of the news has increased, and the quality has slightly deceased. As pointed out in one of the videos which talked about Citizen reporting, the high profile news stations will look towards news that will draw in viewers and shape it to make it appealing. While citizen news will bring out the facts and the human side to the story. Another thing is that now with internet on cell phones, people can tweet or post news happening at the moment. Like when the earthquake hit japan, people all over wrote about it.If you think about it, if there were 100 people at an event and each posted a piece of information different from each other; you would have a detailed story. Of course thats if people stayed close to the truth. With this said, I think the quality has improved, because we as a people are getting two sides of the story, and have many different ways to access it. We get the popular view and perhaps a personal view. With news sites having their own blogs and accounts on various social media, the public can quickly access this. Information is not in short supply these days.
