This past month, the nation’s first known case of Ebola has taken the world of Twitter by storm and opened up space for Tweets that are either inappropriate or appropriate.

In turn, media consumers have cited grievances in witnessing a lack of fairness and accuracy in reporting. Here you have the option to explore a collection of Tweets that are inappropriate and, following them, there will be a series of more appropriate Tweets.

Let’s first take a look at inappropriate tweets:

It is my hope that media consumer keep faith in the media and all of its potential. Although mass media coverage has been spotty and Twitter’s response has been bipolar in terms of its range as of recently, there will be a more information to come as the country’s story to fight off Ebola continues.

Share.
