This is a hard question. With social media, many people are getting news very fast. The reality is that citizen journalism is outdoing tradition media and it is quite time the media guys did something to up their game or remain irrelevant. The question is whether the media should report to Tweeps about something that happened on Twitter considering the fact that most of these tweeps might have seen the story and got the facts on their own.The Kenyan media is really trying considering the fact that most of them are getting hot news from social media but as times keeps moving something big needs to be done.
We should not allow the media to control social media and blogosphere because that will lead to propaganda and inaccurate information
It is hard to understand what the media is up to but for Gods sake, dont allow them to control the blogospehere because most of these media guys are just there to make money. It is all about the profits. But it is good to note that many people never trust what the media says nowadays because most media houses can be easily bought by oppressive regimes !
As Kenyans keep joining the online community due to easy access of internet and cheap gadgets, the media may be rendered irrelevant by trying to feed Kenyans with their edited stories that they might have seen elsewhere on social media or blogs.
