Are Reporters Still On-Site?The Influence of Social Media Intelligence on the Sources and Roles of Institutional Media
In traditional journalism,reporters need to be"physically present"to cover news stories.However,with the development of new communication technologies,the tradition of"reporters on the scene"as the primary source of information is changing.This paper examines the structural changes in news sources and the transformation of news production models in the context of internet technology development,using three major international conflicts in the 21st century as examples.The study identifies Social Media Intelligence(SOCMINT)as an increasingly significant source for institutional media.It further analyzes the characteristics and mechanisms of SOCMINT in three aspects:information production,fact-checking,and information dissemination.Finally,the paper explores the evolving role of institutional media in the SOCMINT era and offers new perspectives on how institutional media can function and fulfill their responsibilities through SOCMINT.
