Students Perception about the Use of Media Platforms

Abstract

With the emergence of technology, there is a remarkable growth in media platforms for accessing information. With the increase of information exchange, information about the usage of different media platforms may play a significant role in making strategies for providing information to different sections of society. Students are the major part of the population who access information through different media platforms for various purposes and make their decision accordingly. The objective of the present work is to investigate highly popular and reliable media platforms among students. For the purpose, an online survey was conducted to get information about the usage and reliability of various media platforms among students. We use analysis of variance approach to check whether all media platforms are equally popular among students and apply t-test to find highly popular and reliable media platforms. We found that different media platforms are not equally popular among students and we further observed that YouTube is a highly accessible and reliable media platform among students.
