Social media challenges traditional communication methods by emphasizing speed and accessibility over edited, curated messaging. While traditional outlets often follow established protocols, social media platforms allow for immediate dissemination of information, leading to viral trends and discussions. This instantaneous nature can democratize information sharing, giving voice to previously marginalized perspectives, but it also raises concerns about credibility and misinformation. Moreover, the global reach of social media blurs the lines between personal and public communication, prompting a rethinking of privacy and discourse norms in a digital age.
