The Impact of Social Media on Communication and Gatekeeping

Social media has accelerated the way people communicate without fundamentally changing human behavior. It has amplified the reach of individuals' voices and thoughts, leading to a constant flow of information on a global scale. In the past, gatekeepers like newspapers and TV networks controlled the flow of information, but with the rise of social media, these traditional structures have shifted. While social media has brought new challenges like information overload and rapid spread of misinformation, over time, people adjust to the new norms and begin to discern more effectively.
