Are you a user, or a reporter?
That all depends. Do you just consume social media content, or do you contribute? And what do you contribute?

Every user of Social Media is now a potential reporter. We influence news on a daily basis. In fact, this aspect of the social media game has been embraced by the average user, as well as media outlets around the world.
