News content is mostly distributed and consumpted via social media like Snapchat, facebook, etc. Not only journalists, but everybody can be a publisher.Ģ. Áine’s approach: By OBSERVING changes and asking QUESTIONS about what people want. But how do you come up with such an idea?

Usually, I try to avoid specific expectations. “The secret of happiness is low expectations.” With these facts given, what did I expect?
