Hello, good morning. People, welcome back to Lewis TV News. With me, Achmad Khairul Annam, on January twenty-six, two thousand twenty-six. We bring several pieces of information that have recently happened within this week, and the headline for today is about the global influence of social media in building media literacy. Nowadays, social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and others have shared everyday literacy skills with those who use them. We are all completely aware that the use of social media is irresistible and has a tendency to cause both negative and positive impacts on literacy skills. Now, here is the news in detail. Social media has the strength to escalate communication skills among young people from all around the world. Besides that, social media also allows teenagers to advance their writing styles. Within social media, teenagers are provided with countless ways to improve their creativity. By reading and analyzing the work of others, teenagers can capture ideas and develop their writing skills. On the other hand, some studies argue that the rise of social media has revealed a decline in standard and proper language. The use of non-formal language on social media gives a negative impact on formal and qualified literacy. This problem is caused by the lack of spelling and grammar in informal writing. The lack of evaluation also becomes one of the concerns, as the manner of expression is not suitable for literacy qualifications. Audiences scarcely read or evaluate information until the end, which results in a lack of full understanding. According to this condition, we have to realize that social media plays a great role in giving both positive and negative impacts on building literacy skills in many aspects. To prevent the negative side effects of social media on literacy skills, it is important to wisely classify which articles are worth reading. As for writers, it is also mandatory to start writing meaningful and qualified articles to improve audience literacy. Well, good people, that’s all the news for today.
