How our popular news reporting agencies portray crisis situations? When did it shift from informative to contextual news? Are they the cause of shaping audience opinions? A few well-known crisis news stories have been used to highlight how different news reporting agencies reported them and how the audience responded on Facebook. There is also a discourse analysis of various authors who have discussed the influence of social media in journalistic practices and audience behaviors. In the findings we will observe a relationship between news journalism and audience opinion and then finally challenge what provokes the audience to respond in a particular way.
