Article Draft (Modern Impacts)
[edit]Great East Japan Earthquake
The Tohoku region, a large area in north- east Japan, was greatly hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake that passed at 14:46 on March 11, 2011. The major earthquake had an impact not only within Japan but also on the entire world. As anticipated in a disaster situation, people originally searched for information incontinently following the disaster. still, in this situation, damage from the earthquake extended to the news media as well, and the fragility of the media itself was exposed. Indeed in the center of Tokyo, neither TV nor cellular phone content was available, despite the great need for rapid-fire and accurate media and dispatches information that are necessary lifelines for residents in the immediate fate of the disaster. Eventually, the Great East Japan Earthquake revealed numerous problems for the mass media, as well as the eventuality for major changes in the future concerning the relationship between people and mass media channels.

During the time, social media was becoming (if not already) a huge phenomenon within many facets in the world. A professor from Gakushuin University in Japan conducted a "Social Media Use during Great East Japan Earthquake" survey in June 2012.
The most important finding gained from the results of the check is that gaps in social media use among areas and among generations were expanded by the disaster. Journalism in the age of inter-mediality should bridge similar difference by using not only being mass media but also social media. similar journalistic practices can be called “ social journalism".
