This thesis named “Impact of Social Networks on Access to News among the French Generation Z Population” examines the effects of social networks on Generation Z's access to information in France, in a global context where these platforms have profoundly changed the circulation and consumption of information. The study focuses on the evolution of the media scene in France, in particular the inter-action of social networks with traditional media, as well as on the information consumption preferences of Generation Z youth.
This research was based on the results of a qualitative questionnaire sent to members of Genera- tion Z in France.
The research shows that social networks have become preferred sources of information for this generation, encouraging them to seek information in real time via these platforms rather than through traditional media.
However, it also highlights the problems associated with this transition, such as the spread of false information and the formation of information bubbles.
