Is social media replacing traditional news?

In today's world, many people turn to social media to get their news instead of reading newspapers or watching television. While this makes it easy to access information, a big problem is that there's a lot of false or misleading information out there. Do you believe that social media is taking the place of traditional news sources?

While people turn to social media for quick news, most people are aware that most of the news cannot be trusted, hence they still check news channels to confirm.

I completely agree. It's important to check the news from different sources to verify information. People often believe what they see without confirming its legitimacy.

Social media can never replace traditional news outlets. Not with the level of propaganda spread on social media.
