Numerous reports and news stories suggest that more and more individuals get their news from social media. Here are a few articles about why that can be a problem. What do you think?

Perhaps instead of getting your news via social media, try a news feed! Here's an example:

Want to set up a newsfeed about a certain issue that you're interested in like the one above? Here are instructions on how to do it!

• Go to google.com/alerts
• Enter the search term you want the Google Alert to track – if you’re not sure what to track, start with your company name. You may also want to include keyword phrases related to your brand and your industry.
• Then select ‘show options’
• Choose the sources you want Google Alerts to find and share with you. You can choose from – blogs, news, web, video, books, discussions, finance or automatic (everything)
• Choose how often you would like to receive your Google Alerts. You can choose from – as it happens, at most once a day, at most once a week
• Choose how many results you want to get. You can receive ‘only the best results’ or ‘all results’ depending on your needs
• Choose where you would like the Google Alerts delivered. You can receive the alerts via email, or choose an RSS feed, such as Feedly.
• Click the ‘Create Alert’ button
