(The Center Square) – The former editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News says many factors have led the way to the rise and waning digital news world. Smith said the transformation to the digital era has had an impact on news content. Smith said the constant flow of information through social media sites is overwhelming people and moving media consumers closer to the end of this digital news era. “I think more broadly, with social networks, the reason they’re not like cable wires, they’re more like bars or clubs. Like, you go there because your friends are there, and then at some point your friends go somewhere else and you go somewhere else,” Smith told The Intercept.
