Cross reference
https:// This documentary is about researchers going
www.youtube.com/ around America and asking young Children
watch?v=7QWoP6jJG3k (mainly in schools) why social media is so
important to them, they also comment on who
has which electronic device which obviously
places a big part in social media. In this
youtube video I will be using the fact
researcher taller alls had the same question
but fast forward to 2014 and using social media
to understand what they re thinking, she went
one on one with teenagers in los angles to try
and unlock whats important to them whats their
priorities and what do they want in life as this
really helps give the article a structure.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This article focuses on when teenagers go to
news/ bed how long they look at social media for, this
education-37562259 article also gives a lot of facts and figures
which I will be using in my news report. figures
like this A survey of 2,750 11- to 18-year-olds
found one in 10 admitted checking their mobile
phones for notifications at least 10 times a
night. I will hopefully being using this in my
article as it gives actual figures to the audience.
https:// In this article they talk about mental health with
www.theguardian.com/ teenagers and it being course by social media,
commentisfree/2015/ for example they give research like this
sep/16/social-media- Research has shown that teenagers need 9.5
mental-health- hours of sleep each night but on average only
teenagers-government- get 7.5 hours. A lack of sleep can make
pshe-lessons teenagers tired, irritable, depressed and more
likely to catch colds, flu and gastroenteritis.
this facts and figure I will be using in my article
as it gives really realistic facts and something
very informative for the audience.
https:// This YouTube video shows statistics on 5 ways
www.youtube.com/ that social media is effecting out brain. In this
watch?v=HffWFd_6bJ0 video there are piece of information I will be
using for my news article. For example it
states 5-10% of internet users are actually
unable to log off due to psychological addiction
this would be a good piece of information to
use in my article.
Primary sources
https:// The opinions and information The teacher had
www.youtube.com/ on social media is very important and
watch?v=2wenMJJndZg something I would like to add to my piece. I
will hopefully be adding his opinions on social
media and where he finds students using it.

in this source I found on HHS.Gov it said In
this digital age, technology and the Internet are
part of everyday life. Social media platforms
such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook are
especially prominent in the lives of
adolescents, and theyre not just for talking with
friends: adolescents use social media to
express themselves and find information. I feel
like the backs up my last secondary source
which was saying how important social media
is to them this. I think this has substantiated
this claim and wouldn't mislead the audience.
I also found another article from the Guardian
called Teens' night-time use of social media
'risks harming mental health this article is
commenting on teenagers and there use of
social media during the night this article stated
The survey of 1,000 12-18-year-olds found
that nine out of 10 teenage girls have
experienced stress in the past year, with seven
in 10 cases leading to symptoms of stress-
related illnesses. this figure was about
teenager girls using social media during then
night. this source also backs up my second
secondary source as it substantiated my
second secondary source, this would also not
be false information tho the audience as I
crossed reference this figure and both articles
give nearly the same amount
This article cross reference my third secondary
source as it states children who spend more
than three hours each school day on social
media sites like Facebook and Twitter are more
than twice as likely to suffer poor mental
health this helps back up my third secondary
source as it substantiated it. This piece will not
mislead the audience as I crossed referenced
the facts and figures with another website.
An article called blog.degreed.com says
Studies show that 63% of Americans log on to
Facebook daily, and 40% log on multiple times
each day. People use the site for myriad
reasons; however, it usually serves, on some
level, the same basic purposes: distraction and
boredom relief. this here is a cross reference
for my last secondary source as it backs up my
last secondary fact that there is a psychological
effect, this also doesn't mislead the audience at
all as it is crossed referenced.
Interview with teenager girl
(16)
Interview with parent (Father)
Teenager; uses social
media often, 16 year old
girl . " I think there is an
addicting side to social
media and I personally
do use it a lot but I think
there are positive things
about it such as staying
connected, that's one of
the main reasons why I
use it so I don't miss out
on anything.
Parent; doesn't see the
point in social media, 45
year old Dad.
"Personally I think all
social media should be
banned all teenagers
stair at there phones
and tablets 24/7
nowadays and its not
good for them, they
need to get out and get
some fresh air"
In this interview I conducted with a 16 year old
girl she states I think there is an addicting side
to social media and I personally do use it a lot
but I think there are positive things about it
such as staying connected. this part I will
hopefully be using in my article as it allows the
article to have more of a personal feeling. This
would also be a good example for younger
children to hear an older teenager giving there
true opinion on the matter.
This interview I asked a Dad what his thoughts
on social media where as he had three children
who all used social media. "Personally I think
all social media should be banned all
teenagers stair at there phones and tablets
24/7 nowadays and its not good for them, they
need to get out and get some fresh air In my
article I will be adding in the part where the
Dad says Personally I think all social media
should be banned all teenagers stair at there
phones and tablets 24/7 I feel by adding this it
will allow teenagers to realises that it is true
and that it cant be good for them.
