Communication studies expert attacks myths about harms of social media

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

Jeffrey Hall , a professor of communication studies, has busted some of the most egregious myths about the harms of social media.

Hall likens social media use less to tobacco use and more to eating a doughnut: not alone a healthy diet, but not inherently harmful and with some nutritional value.

Hall: Claims about social media tend to be more exaggerated and less based on research than they should be in order to have a quality debate about their effects.
