Facebook as a dependent tool for current affairs
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to show how the youth is dependent on Facebook for news and information on current affairs. It also looks at identifying howFacebook moulds or influences their opinion about a particular issue. Facebook is a major platform of information today. The usage of smart phones and social media among the youth, being extremely high further reduces the need of traditional media as a source of information. The reliability parameter is most often ignored by the youth, or is rather something that they are not really concerned about. News on Facebook is convenient, easily accessible and is also preferred by them.
