Is social media dead?
from The Global Story · host BBC World Service
For much of the 21st century, our social lives have been shaped, at least in part, on the internet. But in an age of influencers, generative AI, complex algorithms, and politically entangled technocrats, some users say social media is growing less, well, social. So, is social media dead? Or is it just becoming something else? We speak with New Yorker staff writer Kyle Chayka about what happened to social networks, and what their transformation suggests about the future of media.Producers: Xandra Ellin and Aron KellerExecutive Producer: James ShieldMix: Travis EvansSenior News Editor: China CollinsPhoto: Social media apps on a phone.Yui Mok/PA
