Message: From GoLocalProv by Rob Horowitz, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: One of the major takeaways from “State of the News Media 2014’ released last week by Pew Research Journalism Project is the growing role in the distribution and even production of news played by social media. The ability of people to share with their friends and family the articles and videos they think are important and interesting is democratizing a gatekeeping power over information that used to be mainly in the hands of newspaper editors and television news directors. Facebook and other social media sites are also a way for more casual news consumers to get information ‘incidentally’ while they are going to these sites for other reasons, potentially expanding the number of citizens better informed about public affairs. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/rob-horowitz-social-media-key-component-of-the-new-news-media
