“…Thus, with the ease of access and widespread dissemination of information, false or misleading news can spread quickly, causing confusion and harm. Additionally, Bentz et al (2021) note that access to social media often requires a device and internet connection, which can present a barrier for people who cannot afford these technologies. This digital divide exacerbates existing inequalities, as those who are less wealthy are less likely to have access to the information and opportunities available through social media (Norris, P.

This paper intends to explore the various ways in which social media can be used to enhance learning and engagement, as well as the potential challenges and risks that may arise. The study focuses on face-to-face formal K-12 education which is a system that generally covers 12 grades including primary and secondary schools. The manuscript provides a comprehensive theoretical literature review of the existing research on the topic, highlighting the main findings and discussing the implications. Social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have turned into an increasingly prevalent and influential aspect of modern society, and they have also begun to infiltrate the realm of education. However, during this study it has been noticed that there are few studies examining the effects of social media in K-12 education. Namely, some research has been conducted on higher or online education. Accordingly, while there are certainly benefits to applying social media in education, such as the ability to connect with a global network of learners and access to a vast array of information and resources, there are also challenges that must be considered. Thus, the results of this study provide clarification on previous research and lay the foundation for future examinations of the potential advantages and disadvantages of using social media in K-12 education.

“…The inherent openness of these platforms to wider audiences and the possibility to communicate bidirectionally has, among other things, helped make science more inclusive and strengthen relationships between different groups within and outside of the scientific community. 4 In addition to improved visibility of their work, scholars can also receive informal/public reviews and blind peer reviews -the analytics of which can be used to support their professional/ academic careers (e.g. job and funding applications).…”

Based on the attention economy theory, this study used the regression analysis method to analyse the effect of online video information entertainment on audience attention’s breadth, depth, engagement, and validity. The empirical research results show that highly positive and negative emotions significantly impact the audience’s attention in infotainment. We found that content storytelling, star characters, soft news themes, and sensational headlines have a significant positive effect. From the perspective of online video and media platforms, time fragmentation significantly impacts the audience’s attention positively and negatively. The diversification of presentation methods, the number of labels, and authoritative media have significant positive effects, whereas the number of topics has a significant negative impact.
