social news

Social news refers to online platforms or websites where users share, discuss, and vote on news stories and content relevant to their community or interests. Unlike traditional news outlets, social news emphasizes user-generated content, enabling the community to influence which stories gain prominence. This collaborative approach fosters diversity of viewpoints and rapid dissemination of information, often leading to trending topics that reflect current societal conversations. Examples include sites like Reddit or Digg, where collective user engagement determines the visibility and popularity of news items.
