RFI Studios - Twitter as a News Source - Right Brain

RFI Studios - Twitter as a News Source - Right Brain: "It’s no secret that social media plays a HUGE role in how we receive information. Pew Internet just released a study that found that 75% of people find their news online through email or social media, with 52% forwarding news through those same means.

The implications of this study were epitomized as this weekend saw a surge of tweets as information about the earthquake became more readily available."
