Mass Communication Theories Prompt 2

I use social media regularly to inform and to entertain myself. I post the most on Facebook, since it is easier to reach my targeted audience there through sharable content. It remains the most important in posting given that content remains on people’s timelines hours or days after posting. Facebook has also served me well since I started using it when it was fairly new in the market and was more sensible than what the market was offering. It is a social networking site which makes it easier to interact with like-minded people. When it comes to these services, I use a combination of them almost equally if not equally (Webber, n.d.). Depending on the day, I can spend the most time on Twitter when I need to inform myself about the trending matters locally and globally, and to understand how people are responding to these matters.

On other days, I spend the most time on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. Facebook also informs on trending topics in passing, engages in business content marketing, it allows interactions with the targeted audience in content sharing, creating content, and accessing shared content. YoutTube helps me gain access to interesting topics under discussion, have a stream of information from accessed sites, while also allowing me to listen to music. Lastly, I use Instagram for business content marketing and entertainment purposes, and more so the latter. Entertainment meets the need for self-preservation and the need to belong (Webber, n.d.). Over time, I have appreciated social media services in a more intentionally such as seeing Facebook more than a mere entertainment source to becoming informative in business, society-wise, and spiritually. These changes have occurred as I realize that there is a richness to life and with more maturity, comes more appreciation for such services in aiding growth in businesses, relationships, and spiritually.
