Tweets with links to their articles e.g Beyonce’s help with the Texas Storms – making the public see her in a certain way, make her look good. (Circulate/Personalise/Share/Story)

Free Platform – Twitter is a free social media platform – old media was only accessible with money

Active Involvement – people can react to the tweet, like and share.

Real-time creation – the tweet includes a link so you can be taken straight to information included in the tweet whereas in the old media, it would be harder to access

New technology in the media has split people apart whereas things like cinema bring people together.
