1. When I hear the word "news", things that come to my head is about information of recent events or important information in various topics. It can be about recent tragedies on your country, disaster, economic conditions, or even about public figure or celebrities.
2. Yes, social media is changing the way we consume news. Social media has a huge impact on the news' spread, it is because we are more often to see new information on social media rather on televison. Social media makes everything on it seems so real, it makes most people easily believe on what they see though it might be a misleading information.
