This article discusses the significance free news has on the newspaper industry. A local newspaper in in the US state of New Hampshire had come to an end after 90 years. Citizens has to pay for the paper which wasn't an ideal strategy in this generation as people expect news to be relevant, instant and most of all free. Charlie Arlinghaus believes people don't get their news from Twitter and these people misunderstand their sources. He says 'someone he/she follows on Twitter or other social media posts links to stories they click on'.

•  Ways of obtaining news has changed 
• Charlie Arlinghaus doesn't believe social media is the main source of news
• He also believes people aren't sure on where the news they find really comes from 
• News stories aren't as in detail as they used to be

I believe the fact that some people make the mistake of saying they rely on social media for news would make it difficult to find a concrete observation if a test was carried out. For example, if someone was to hold a survey asking people where they obtain their news the findings may be inaccurate because of the simple mistake people are making. Therefore, society would believe that journalists aren't that useful because they are reliant of social media - not true - and the quality of news would then reduce as the good journalists may decide to change their occupation.
