          Social Media has become very much popular when Many people in the world use social media as a              "tool" to get  latest news from all over the world and the current news information about their 
          country.This has become an easier way for people to get to know news from a click of a button. 

In my opinion , social media has taken over Traditional media because, majority of the world's population use social media when compared to the past. In the past it was the radio and then the television which became man's everyday news receiver and now its the social media. People upload the latest information straight to social media and the whole world gets to know about at the same time. Where as when the radio and the television has begun to spread the news, its too late. The old media tend to be afraid so they publish news in the arm's length , hoping they will disappear slowly among people. 

 Another reason why traditional media is slow in quality of news and information is that, traditional media advertising i.e papers, is based on a wide net hoping to get more customers.It costs a lot of money and space to post an advertisement on a paper . In most cases, people do not read the advertisements on papers. Therefore you lose a lot of money and the time. 

 Social media  has its own method of spreading news and information. There will be pictures and videos posted by people so that people get to know exactly of what has happened. There will not be anything hidden from anyone and  I agree that social media has increased the quality of news and information.
