Infographics can tell you a lot about a specific subject, and I think that they are way underrated. This one stuck out with me, because it is so relevant to today's world.
Social media plays a huge part in the way we run our lives now. However, how reliable is the news that it presents to us? Can we always trust it? According to this, "fast doesn't always mean factual." Though you can have a story in your hand within five minutes of it's release, there's a chance that it was fabricated or made up in order to make it to said social media sites. I do believe, however, that news from social media does have a special place in the curriculum or a classroom, especially in a social studies or journalism class. Both of these classes are about what's happening in the news around them, therefore they need to have the news in the quickest way they can to keep the class relevant. It's just a matter of fact or fiction when it comes to believing the things that social media presents to it's readers.
