Thanks to the internet and social media, the way we consume news content has forever changed. Gone are the days when getting your fix meant waiting for the 10 o'clock news or the morning paper. All we have to do now is scroll Twitter's latest trends or watch a livestream on Facebook to find out what's going on in the world.

And just like consumption, the process of collecting and disseminating information has also evolved.
