Maria Konnikova attended Harvard University. She later on got her Ph.
D. in Phycology from University of Columbia, and is on the New York Times
best seller list. I think this source will be useful because its on one of the
main social media sites that Ill be talking about in my paper. And being a
user of Facebook I have seen some of the ways it changes people first hand.
Although the article is from a couple of years ago I think its still relevant to
the topic at hand on how social media can, and does affects its users.

Barbra Mantel is a graduate from Northwestern University and the

University of Virginia. She is now a writer in New York City. Throughout her
career as a writer she has won the multiple journalism awards. In her article
Teen Suicide she uses credible sources from Harvard University, Rutgers
University, and many more. The source will be useful because she used a

useful sources, and the topics were almost present day. Even though the
issues were from a few years ago they are still problems that take place now.

Mustian, Jim and Wallace, Ben. Social media proves powerful resource for
La. Law

enforcement. The Advocate. Capital City Press LLC, 28 June

2014. Web. 26 March 2016.

Ben Wallace is an author for not only the Advocate but the New Yorker
as well. The article discusses a shooting and how Facebook was used to help
find the culprits. I wanted to use this as one of the sources because even
though its a bit darker source it is still a positive use of Facebook. Because it
can be used to not only spread the work of things faster but to find people
faster as well. But Im also not sure if I want to use this one because
although its a positive use/effect of social media it doesnt play in with the
rest of the positive and negative uses.

Rainie, Lee, and Barry Wellman. Networked: The New Social Operating
System. Cambridge,

MA: MIT, 2012. Print.

Wellman graduated from Lafayette College in 1963, with a degree in

social history. He has since worked at Harvard University. Wellman and Rainie
worked on Networked: The New Social Operating System to show mainly the
positive effects of social media. Using references such as surveys showing

the good uses of social media. The two talked about how social media isnt
all bad, and that it can be used for good. One of the main examples that they
used was how it can be used to find missing people. Because more people
will see something on Facebook faster than they will a newspaper.

Wallace, Kelly. The upside of selfies: Social media isn't all bad for kids.
CNN. Turner

Broadcasting, Inc, 7 October 2014. Web. 26 March 2016

Kelly Wallace went to University of Pennsylvanias Wharton School of

Business and graduated with a degree in economics. This article is useful
because it sheds light on the more positive effects of social media. Because
most things out now and day talk solely about how bad it is and how nothing
good can come from it. Bit with this she talks about how there was a survey
done and a lot of the teenagers felt that if anything they were more outgoing
as appose to the few who felt otherwise.
