media-technology-2018/

This article is by Monica Anderson and Jingjing Jiang, and it is almost entirely statistics.

I think the purpose of this article was to inform young people and parents of young

people how present social media is now, and how it can affect people. The writers seem

credible because they are just displaying and talking about numbers from a good

organization.

This article was written by Jeff Cain and I believe it was written to inform teens and

parents about the dangers of social media and other online platforms. Cain seems

qualified because he is a professor at Kentucky but I do not know how much knowledge

he has on this topic. It does not seem biased though.

This article does a really good job in categorizing the separate problems of social media

and mental health. C.J. Ferguson uses a ton of references here so it seems like he really

did his work and the article seems valid. I think he wrote it for the same people as the

others.
