The videos were played over and over on news networks worldwide, ‘The speed at which the world learned about the catastrophe was ‘only possible because of the widespread use of smartphones. Recent studies showed that six out of ten Americans get news from social media, However, that is not their only source - they 10 also follow the news on traditional sources like television and onlinenews sites. Still, people turn to social media sites for breaking news because {information gets out fast. Professional reporters can't be everywhere, so anyone posting a video of a news event from his 48 or her smartphone becomesa citizen journalist. Citizen journalism is a powerful force in critical events. Within hours of ‘the 2011 disaster in Japan, social media sites provided vital information, from tracking missing people to the location of emergency toilets, Eyewitness videos after earthquakes in Haiti “a0 and Nepal speeded up international help.
