Newsrooms are changing. New technologies and new ways to reach audiences are arriving daily. One of the newest ways is reaching audiences directly through apps. University of Maryland Library's Social Media Coordinator describes his mobile news consumption and why he chooses to get his news this way:
Apps like Twitter, although not used exclusively for news allow users like Aaron to customize the content they see. Now consumers step into the role of Editor. Many are fearful that this will result in "Echo Chambers" which only reinforce strongly held beliefs as consumers only "hear" information they already agree with. However, it seems that news organizations are still respected highly in this domain with users seeking out news organizations who still retain editorial control over what gets posted online.
