(2nd story) Facebook and Twitter join coalition to improve social media newsgathering - https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/sep/13/facebook-twitter-social-media-newsgathering
Summary: Channel 4 News, Telegraph, New York Times, Washington post and Buzzed have also signed up to network organised through Google-backed first draft. Facebook and Twitter have signed up to a coalition of news organisation aimed at improving repotting from social media and tackling fake news. All of the news organisation that i have listed above, they will work with the technology companies to try to improve news gathering techniques and improve the eye witnesses who are contacted by news companies.
- First Draft already works so closely with both news organisations and social platforms that we feel uniquely positioned to coordinate efforts and facilitate real progress in tackling some of the key challenges facing journalists and their audiences.
- Help social media users assess news they find on networks.
My opinion: This is something that will allow the audience to be more active audience and think for themselves and see which news is real or fake. The concept is good because many audience reply on social media for news too, and by tackling fake news on social media shows how important and impact social media has upon all of us without even realising it that much.
