Social impact of social media
The social impact of social media is by far the biggest, as social media work through the
formation of social networks by users in a virtual world. Its most significant impact is the
formation of networks which span space and time and leads to the free-flowing of cultures
and formation of new cultures which impacts the world. It has impacted how people consume
information, how the consumption of media has gone from public to private and personal.
However, on the flip side, social media work on algorithms. The information a user gets
through social media is determined by the user preferences, which is self-declared by the user
and detected by the algorithm. Hence, if one is an environmentalist, then one will get news
and user-generated content on environmental activism. This selective exposure of information
is harmful to the user as the user is not able to get alternate perspectives, for example, the
trade-off between development and the environment. In politics, this can lead to things like
political polarization, being associated with a political party or ideology which is detrimental to
democracy. This is also what is called the ”echo chamber” effect. Meanwhile, research has also
shown evidence that social media use leads to the persuasion of political beliefs, i.e., individuals
who use social media were more likely to have their political beliefs persuaded than those who
did not.
Question 41:
According to the passage, selective exposure of information leads to ___________?
Social media functions on:
Who determines the information which a user gets through social media?
Social media works through:
What is the most significant impact of social media?
Community Engagement on the Internet for Social Change
The arena of community media has become much broader with the addition of the Internet.
The medium is a great source to increase outreach through converging technology and trans-
forming the content into a ’multimedia’ format. We find fine instances of civil society and
non-governmental organizations leading community-based newspapers and participatory video
practices going for their online editions. For example, the newspaper Khabar Lahariya is pub-
lished by the rural communities of Bundelkhand. This newspaper is also published on a portal
in a multimedia format, including YouTube videos. This is being widely appreciated for being
an ’alternative voice,’ sensitizing, and mainstreaming the people. All of Khabar Lahariya’s
reporters are women who draw from their own experiences to share stories often ignored by the
mainstream media. Similarly, with the local engagement of children in the age group of 15-18
years from marginalized tribal communities of northern Chhattisgarh, a UNICEF initiative -
Sangwari Khabariya uses the medium of participatory videos to bring about social change in
society. These children run their YouTube channel to post short news stories.
