Social networking sites have completely altered the way that we communicate. In the seemingly short time I have been on facebook, it has totally changed the way that I talk to my friend. At the time I got my facebook, it was simply the thing to do. Now that I have left high school, it has become the primary communication hub for my friends. Social networking sites, while not a primary source, can be a way of fact checking. In addition, facebook and other social networking sites allow reporters to stay in contact with potential sources and gain potential leads with just the click of a mouse.
