EDITORIAL | The paradox of connection

Today, many people get their news from X, Facebook, Instagram or TikTok. The problem with shopping news from social media is the simple fact that these platforms don’t care about fair, honest news coverage. Instead, the purpose of these platforms is to get people to continue scrolling. The problem that we have today is not about getting access to information, but rather the quality of information that we are getting. Social media is useful in many ways, but the news is not one of them. Instead, independent research is needed. We should, at the very least, search online to read articles about what’s happening in the world rather than believing the first person that we see on TikTok.
