Social networking channels have taken on a strongstrongly driven, challenging role in spreading news, albit albeit chaotically. This random viral reporting complicates our study on the extent ofto which social medias like twitter, facebook, youtubemedia such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and flickerFlickr are shaping this historic shift for in control. The collaboration between conventional media and Ccitizen Jjournalism needs further analysis. More data sets than those presented in Section 5 need to be compiled to come to a definitive conclusions.

Clearly, the methodology outlined in our study can be instrumental in providing new insights into the study of changechanging trends in mainstream and social medias. . Previous methods, mostlyparticularly manual curating, are usefull but may not precisely capture the context in which collaboration occurs,; in addition, they tend to favorfavour qualitative- analysis, that which is not solethe only approach that should be used.
