Mobile Journalism and Social Media

I think it is interesting how most journalist do not have to do as much leg work to get a story. That skype and other pieces of social media have replaced the face-to-face interviews. This means that stories are developed and shared online at a much faster rate. The only issue I have with mobile journalism is authenticity. Whether the stories actually true or made up of several rumors online. So, journalist are still responsible for fact finding to produce a reliable story.
