Gate keeping by Media – Studying the Impact and Output of the social Media among College Going Youth
SHIVANI PANT
Abstract
There is a spectrum of opinions on the positive and negative impacts of social media on today's college students. College administration should have a thorough understanding of the factors that lead to students' heavy use of social networking sites. Researchers have pushed for greater research after preliminary results from empirical investigations of the impacts on students' well-being warranted such advocacy. They draw the inference that the social media platforms itself are not the problem, but rather users' motivations and actions are. Recent research has shed light on how students' online actions might affect their performance in the classroom. Accordingly, Junco (2011b) advocated for the use of research findings to guide interventions to boost student learning and engagement, as well as intervention for students exhibiting problem behaviours.
