Social media is everywhere. This new phase of our planet’s development has transformed every aspect  of  our lives – from the way we conduct our daily conversations to the way we build brand image and transfer  information.

From the emergence of this innovative form of communication comes a medium that transcends traditional journalism. With immediate and unfiltered content, information can be spread and received  instantly by a global audience. On a personal level, this means connecting and sharing ideas with like-  minded individuals who would otherwise be separated by land, sea and circumstance. At a global level,  we see events unfolding in real time and reported by real people on the ground. This is modernised  frontline reporting and some see it as the future of journalism itself.
