Are you informed?


To see how young adults spend their free time, I made a simple questionary that took only half a minute to answer and sent it via WhatsApp to 40 Communication students of the University of Navarra. I used WhatsApp because it was easier for me to reach my classmates via the class group. Only 20 answered. 





I sent the text message seen in the right with the heading "5 PREGUNTAS EN 30 SEGUNDOS (5 questions in 30 seconds)". 






What apps/websites do you use daily?



If you have one, what is your favourite online news platform?

Students gave names of different platforms, but none was named twice. 





Sincerely (without searching online!), do you know who Ryan Lewis is? 




Sincerely (without searching online!), do you know who Bashar al-Assad is?

CONCLUSION
It is impossible to draw a specific conclusion because the questionary was too short, but the contrasting results proves that the main purpose of media usage for a great proportion of students of Communication of the University of Navarra is solely to be entertained.
