One of the most important source of their work are social medias, such as YouTube, Snapchat, Spokeo, Instagram and the most popular Twitter. However, journalists, not always write the truth about something. Even, if the information is based on the truth from the people, they will change it to be more interesting to the readers or they will include less information if the situation should not be spread into the world at all or if they do not want people to know the whole truth. The journalists also have to struggle with the fiction such as fake and old photos and videos posted by people so they have to find out what is the fact and what is not. Here you can watch a video about "what do journalists do when they find news online?".
