(CNN) -- The demonstrators have no clear leader. Many say Twitter posts and Facebook groups brought them to the streets of Mexico's capital and cities around the country.

With presidential elections less than six weeks away, they are protesting media coverage of the campaign and criticizing the candidate widely seen as the front-runner.

Local media reports have described it as "the Mexican Spring," drawing a comparison with massive protests pushing for political change in the Middle East.

The surge of student activism has drawn attention at a key time during campaigning in the politically polarized country, where security concerns and economic problems have been top issues for candidates vying for the presidency.

"It was about time that Mexico woke up, that it stopped watching television," said Leonardo Mata, a student at Mexico City's Metropolitan Autonomous University who joined thousands marching in the capital on Wednesday.

TV coverage of the campaign has drawn sharp criticism from some protesters, who argue that national broadcaster Televisa has provided more favorable coverage to Enrique Pena Nieto, the Institutional Revolutionary Party candidate who leads in polls.

Televisa's president appeared to acknowledge the protests in a Twitter post this week.

With each passing elections season, were seeing more how social media is changing the business of political news coverage. Its not just sped up the news cycle, but its helped kill it, said JoshMarshall, editor and publisher of TalkingPointsMemo.com.

Marshall appeared with Vivian Schiller, chief digital officer of NBC News at the paidContent 2012 conference, where the two talked about how social media has influenced and reshaped the news business. Marshall said social media is part of a larger continuum that began with the Internet and the rise of blogs. With social media, he said, the news business has become frictionless and fluid and, in some cases, chaotic. But its helped wrest control away from traditional news powers and helped do away with the notion of a news cycle.

Parties and counter-parties can get back into a story rapidly, whether its on Twitter or this or that. Its about immediate access so a story can play out without the slow down of a news cycle, Marshall said.

Vivian Schiller said social media has become an organic part of news organizations, which are finding that it can be a liberating force, providing new ways to engage their audience and also push out content. She said social media is also helpful in weeding out trivial news, while allowing more voices to be heard on bigger stories.

I think because theres so many people who have access to the same information, you get more data points and more information from the crowd and more debunking. And everything becomes meatier, Schiller said.

Excerpt from:
Social media doesn’t speed up the news cycle — it kills it

VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire -05/24/12)- The big social media issue of the day isn't Facebook's $104 billion IPO, or whether Ashton Kutcher or Lady Gaga are still tweeting. It's the fact that many users of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media platforms - particularly teens and twenty-somethings - still don't appreciate that the comments, photos and videos they post on social media sites can be publicly accessible, profoundly inappropriate, legally defamatory and career-limiting. Everything that goes online stays online, leaving digital tattoos that anyone from teachers to scholarship committees to future employers might find, and, more importantly, might find objectionable.

On Thursday, May 31, 2012, Scholar in Residence Tony Wilson discusses the importance of online reputation management in a lecture titled Social Media: How to Protect Yourself from Yourself. This lecture considers how the social media landscape has revolutionized how we communicate and interrelate with one another, and how important it is to understand the effects of our digital contributions and take ownership of what we say and do online.

"From the 15-year-old's perspective, it might be a badge of honour to post photos of wayward drunken exploits on Facebook," says Wilson, "thinking that because their parents aren't 'friends', Mom and Dad won't see them. But when a teen has 750 Facebook friends, it's easy for them to lose control of where those posts travel and who will eventually see them."

Tony Wilson's presentation discusses how important it is for students and parents alike to understand the importance of protecting their online reputation, how easily a reputation can be damaged and how long that damage can last.

"I can only echo what most of the deans of Canada's law schools tell their new students each year: clean up your Facebook pages because your prospective employers will be looking for you. I can tell you first-hand that all employers do," says Wilson. "We have to."

Tony Wilson's presentation Social Media: How to Protect Yourself from Yourself will be held on May 31, 2012 at 7pm at the Copeland Lecture Theatre at St. Michaels University School. Admission is free, but registration is advised. Click here to register for this event.
