Survey underlines journalists’ increasing dependency on social media Social media is seen as an “important tool” by the majority of UK journalists, according to a recent survey. But members of the press questioned say that the PR industry by and large has yet to fully grasp how to interact with journalists on social platforms. New Media Knowledge went in search of answers.

Nomophobia Nomophobia is the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.[1][2][3] The term, an abbreviation for "no-mobile-phone phobia",[4] was coined during a 2010 study by the UK Post Office who commissioned YouGov, a UK-based research organization to look at anxieties suffered by mobile phone users. The study found that nearly 53% of mobile phone users in Britain tend to be anxious when they "lose their mobile phone, run out of battery or credit, or have no network coverage". The study found that about 58% of men and 47% of women suffer from the phobia, and an additional 9% feel stressed when their mobile phones are off. The study sampled 2,163 people. More than one in two nomophobes never switch off their mobile phones.[8] The study and subsequent coverage of the phobia resulted in two editorial columns authored by those who minimize their mobile phone use or choose not to own one at all, treating the condition with light undertones of or outright disbelief and amusement.[9][10] See also[edit]

Internet addiction Disease (IAD) Dependency Theory media depends on the social context (or: Media System Dependency Theory) History and Orientation Dependency theory was originally proposed by Sandra Ball-Rokeach and Melvin DeFleur (1976). This theory merged out of the communication discipline. Dependency theory integrates several perspectives: first, it combines perspectives from psychology with ingredients from social categories theory. Core Assumptions and Statements Dependency theory proposes an integral relationship among audiences, media and the larger social system. One’s needs are not always strictly personal but may be shaped by the culture or by various social conditions. Conceptual Model This model is the general idea of the dependency theory.

Issues for DSM-V: Internet Addiction Internet addiction appears to be a common disorder that merits inclusion in DSM-V. Conceptually, the diagnosis is a compulsive-impulsive spectrum disorder that involves online and/or offline computer usage (1, 2) and consists of at least three subtypes: excessive gaming, sexual preoccupations, and e-mail/text messaging (3). All of the variants share the following four components: 1) excessive use, often associated with a loss of sense of time or a neglect of basic drives, 2) withdrawal, including feelings of anger, tension, and/or depression when the computer is inaccessible, 3) tolerance, including the need for better computer equipment, more software, or more hours of use, and 4) negative repercussions, including arguments, lying, poor achievement, social isolation, and fatigue (3, 4). Some of the most interesting research on Internet addiction has been published in South Korea. China is also greatly concerned about the disorder.
