Social Media and School Going Students: A Descriptive Study of Students Media Habits and Relative Influence in Fatehabad District of Haryana

The term “social media” refers to websites and applications that emphasize communication, community-based input, interaction, content sharing and collaboration.

People use social media to stay in touch with friends, family and members of various communities. Businesses use social media to market and promote their products, as well as to track customer concerns.

Globally, social media has enormous traction. These platforms are made more accessible by mobile applications. Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn are some popular examples of general social media platforms.

There are several popular social media platforms today and teens in India specifically use them for various purposes. The most frequently used application in India during the pandemic, where inactivity has increased by 80%, according to surprising evidence collected from a variety of sources, is Instagram. Indian consumers used social media for, on average, 2.4 hours per day, which is a little less than the 2.5 hours per day average for all users worldwide.

About us

Journal of Media Scholars

Greetings!!

Media professionals around the world engage in active information and perspective sharing across different platforms. Nevertheless, scholarly articles face certain limitations, particularly in regions like the global south. This is especially evident for scholars specializing in Modern Indian Languages, who lack sufficient academic journals that offer opportunities to contribute their insights and address media, communication, and societal issues.

Our objective is to address this gap by publishing research papers in Hindi and English twice a year. Our journal covers a broad range of topics within Media Studies and related fields, and it undergoes a rigorous peer-review process. Media Scholar began in January, 2023 in the online mode as a tri-annual journal. It later became Bi-annual in 2024. By offering a bilingual (Hindi & English) platform for Mass Communication, we aim to serve students, faculty members, and professionals within the industry.
