Is Youtube Becoming a Reputable Journalism Source?


My last blog post mentioned that I heard about the peaceful Muslim protest against terrorism through a video by "The Michalaks" on Youtube.  This really got me thinking about the possibility of Youtube becoming a reputable news source, especially with the ever growing popularity of digital journalism.

Bad News is Good News: Who's Choice is it?

2015 has been a busy year for news.  We have seen numerous terrorist attacks, namely those on Paris, extreme weather conditions such as the recent floods in North-West England and violent protests like the one against the Cereal Cafe in London.  But did you hear about the peaceful Muslim protest against terrorism? What about the new homeless walking tours around London, or the 'other side' to the Migrant crisis story?  No, I didn't hear about them either because sadly, only bad news makes good news.
