social media news
Platform-distributed current events
News delivered through or originating from social media platforms rather than traditional journalism.
The term covers both legitimate news stories shared on platforms like Twitter or Facebook and the broader phenomenon of users learning about current events through their feeds: I get most of my social media news from Instagram these days.
Often carries connotations of questionable reliability, algorithmic curation, and the blurring of news with opinion or entertainment.
