Results: The traditional media, such as domestic paper and broadcasting, etc., is coming under evaluation that they failed to report the riskiness of MERS properly at the right time at the time of MERS situation, nor were they insufficient in information delivery function which connected the government with the public. The general public is doing a consumer’s role of coming across risk-related news reported by the media, and further playing a role of directly producing news as well as spreading it through social media simultaneously.

For the press to survive the rapidly changing media environment like this, there is no way but to make the change on its own.
