โโ๐ธ Where do teens hang out online?
Class division in social media
According to Pew Research data, as shown in the chart below, household income seems to play a role in where on #SocialMedia the family's kids hang out.
However, Lynn Schofield Clark, a professor in the media, film, and journalism department at the University of Denver believes, in the end, the most important indicator of where teenagers go is simply where their friends are. And this, in itself, can be the very reason why class division in social media exists - and is growing.
