Scholars have started to research the effect of satisfaction on users' willingness to continue using social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Weibo. However, few studies have focused on the effects of these gratification on users' psychological responses, such as satisfaction and emotional attachment. To bridge this knowledge gap, this study, based on uses and gratification and Stimulus-Organism-Response theory, integrated a new model to study the influence of gratification on psychological response, and the influence of psychological response on Instagram continuance use intention. A sample of students (N = 209) from Universiti Putra Malaysia was selected for this study. PLS-SEM was mainly used for hypothesis testing during data analysis. The results indicate that entertaining value, social value, social participation, and utilitarian value positively affect users' satisfaction. Emotional attachment is significantly influenced by social participation, information consumption. Moreover, psychological response positively affects continued usage intention. In addition, this study can help social media practitioners better understand users' intention to continue using from the perspective of their gratifications and psychological response.
The procedure and practice in conducting a study on media literacy education intervention need to be clarified to guide quality research. In recent years, only limited Delphi studies have been conducted in the Malaysian context. Despite recognizing the influence of socio-cultural settings on the conduct of any research, empirical literature on the best and most suitable means to conduct Delphi studies within the Malaysian socio-cultural context has not grown in proportion to the evolution of Delphi method application in local social-science studies. This article establishes methodological considerations in employing the Delphi method by investigating issues relating to data source, instrument, data collection procedures and management in the implementation in designing and conducting a successful Delphi study in the Malaysian socio-cultural context. The reflection of Delphi method in identifying media literacy knowledge that is deemed to be important for inclusion in an introductory media literacy Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) will be explored. This study demonstrates a novel and inclusive strategy that might be used in Southeast Asian nations. Our study suggested appropriate strategies in order to develop and carry out more feasible Delphi studies. New researchers should take into consideration the numerous issues and difficulties identified in this study. The main contribution of this study is a set of dependable and useful guidelines that may be used to design and carry out future Delphi studies that include the study's reasoning, justification of its advantages, the official logo of the institutions the researchers are affiliated with, and authorization from the funding organisations, which may add weightage to the study's significance. Keywords: Delphi method, Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), media literacy, media competency, curriculum development.
The vast academic research on social media has been facilitated by its broad use. The present study conducted a systematic analysis of extant research on social media users' continuance use intention from the perspective of uses and gratifications theory (U&G). This systematic literature review aims to identify and bridge gaps in topics, theories, variables, and conceptual frameworks in studies of continuance use intention among social media users. The PRISMA method is used to review 18 articles drawn from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. From the analysis, 14 theories or models other than U&G, and a complete framework of causal relations emerge. It is recommended that future research on social media should include a greater diversity of perspective, investigate a wider range of research topics, and adopt different theories or models.

According to the study's findings, journalists interact with their audiences in four unique journalistic approaches while teaching them about news items which has affected news literacy. Furthermore, the study's findings illustrate how journalistic style has evolved in the setting of online news websites. To fully appreciate how journalistic style has evolved in online news websites, media practitioners, educators, and journalism students must possess a working understanding of journalism history. This study aims to contribute to the body of knowledge by illustrating how the growth of journalistic style in online news websites has made new journalistic practices relevant.
