Why Facebook is public enemy number one for newspapers, and journalism

There has been criticism around Facebook and how it is luring away readers and advertisers. 

  • Jemima Kiss, in her article, "A Giant May Eat Us," says she contends that the world’s leading social media site is exerting both an “increasing domination of internet advertising revenue and control of a significant part of a critical distribution platform.”
  • Users put loads of information about themselves online in order for advertising to be targeted at them through the idea of data mining and cookies, newspapers are unable to do this
  • Social media is killing all other traditional means of media and journalism 

I believe that do think that social media is destroying traditional media platforms as everything is reachable online such as online newspapers. why would people go buy something where they can get the information for free. this is the case as facebook and other social media provide up to date news.
