how media portrays alcohol and substances

How often are we influenced by the items advertised to us on our social media feeds?

In this episode, we’ll explore another aspect of our online experiences: how media portrays alcohol and other substances. We'll use the results of a 2023 HOPE Survey to understand the influence of alcohol and substance promotion on youth's social media feeds.

What is HOPE?

Social media has shaped us in so many ways unimaginable, especially young people who become online at an early age. The HOPE Podcast centers on our lived experiences, and with every issue, we imagine how we can design social media platforms to meet the needs of young people online.

The HOPE Podcast is created by Edward Thomas, Sanjna Hedge, and Vaibhava Rajesh, three youth activists discussing the positive and negative aspects of social media and exploring their own relationship with technology.
