Panel discussion: Social media impact on journalism

Social media impact on journalism. The way journalists work has completely changed thanks to the invasion of social media in newsrooms. It has given wider audiences for the stories, and keeps the journalists active 24x7. At the same time, challenges persist such as metrics based on number of views / shares, shallow coverage, fake news, etc. Is social media a boon or bane for journalism?
