Abstract

Key Messages:Social media affects how traditional outlets select and frame news, acting as a feedback tool for journalistsThe influence of social media causes outlets to offer more homogeneous reporting and to cover a larger proportion of soft newsSocial media has turned citizens into reporters, bringing new perspectives into the realm of information but raising accuracy concernsPoliticians’ social media posts are amplified by traditional outlets, shaping news and public opinionEuropean policy must address how social and traditional media interact to protect pluralism and accountability
