    How is new media changing news gathering and storytelling? Social Networks: For journalists and news organizations, social networks provide an opportunity for connecting with people, distributing news stories and complementing news coverage with feeds from social media. Explore and contrast how a news story might be treated on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn (in the last case, most likely a business news story). This should be a relevant article – preferably something written in the last three months (nothing earlier than January 1, 2015) Consider these questions as part of your analysis: Why did you select this particular format? Why this format is important or of interest? How is the story topic particularly relevant to a new media format? Why is this particular topic pertinent to the class? If you were presenting this to the class, what questions would you pose? Are there any theories or communication models that are applicable? What business, economic or social implications does this have, if any? Interpret and draw conclusions.
