One of NBC’s biggest and brightest names spoke to Elon students last Friday about the role of social media in today’s news realm, and how it’s constantly changing for the better and worse.
“Social media has taken a hold on both local and national news,” said Carey. “Because of this, we are forced to redefine content and rethink the model for now.” As NBC’s Northern Virginia Bureau Chief for New4, Carey is already well ahead of the game in understanding and acknowledging how powerful social media has become. Television news, for the past few years, is on a heavily decline, as well as print news and other traditional sources of news media. Carey talks specifically about the millennial demographic, and how that generation is shaping the future for how and why news is shifting towards more and more social media and online platforms. As a social media enthusiast, Carey is present and active on several social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Carey stressed the importance in accepting the digital divide today, and knowing how news is changing, and where to find it through the most efficient way possible. Carey perceives social media through the eyes of a millennial, but at the real age of 30. Her knowledge explaining why social media trends are present and happening only justifies her greater point, to that eventually all news will be more accessible and easier to grasp through the lenses of those on the digital forefront of tomorrow.
