Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: The most recent revolution in photography is the Social Photography Revolution, where photographic images are used to power the social media and boost social networking. The traditional means of dissemination of information is now almost usurped by social media with Social Networking Sites, (SNSs) fast becoming mainstream platform of communication among people particularly the youths. This study therefore assessed of extent of usage of photographic images in social networking among youths in Lagos and States, Nigeria. Questionnaire and interview were employed as tools to elicit relevant information from youths on the frequency of their usage of photography on SNSs in the study areas. A total of 1010 questionnaires were returned and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The result revealed that that large number of youths made use of photographic images as means of interaction and communication among themselves and the public. It also identified the preferred device used by youths to share photos and the reasons for the preference. The research findings further revealed the degree to which youths patronise photographic images; to the extent that social networking perhaps, may be impossible or unpopular if photographic images were not involved. |
