ep. 25: why do we use social media?

media scholar cap is on for this episode (the first one of a more educational yet personal series about the importance of media in our lives)! after sharing an emotional take on my own social media usage and my social media addiction, i answer the question of why is it that we actually use (social) media. i walk you through the fundamental theory which describes the motivation options of why you could possibly be reaching for your phone and what is it exactly that you gain from it. #Episode #Podcast #DirtryMartini #PersonalStories #MediaStudies #SocialMedia #Academia #University #Instagram #TikTok #UsesAndGratifications #Media
