Journalism and the media are in constant uncertainty caused by the influence of social networks. Social networks that have become a global communication phenomenon have proved to be a useful source for discovering and tracking news. Starting from the assumption that the changes caused by their actions change the basic role of journalism and the relationship between journalists and audiences, and affect its future, this final work explores and describes changes in the way media is used. Traditional media has been influenced by social networks and are forced to adapt to new audience demands that cease to be a passive recipient of information and actively comment, share and create journalistic content. The survey has seen increasingly frequent use of social networks as a source for news monitoring, but it is a worrying fact that the public has less trust in the media and can’t rely on their truthfulness. Under new conditions of digitized and converged media it is clear that media will change in the future, but the question is how will the audience accept these changes and whether they will have confidence in the media.
