Enlighten Me: Univ. of Delaware student journalist explores social media impact

Delaware Public Media

This week, we head back to UD – but this time if for more in-depth piece produce by a student journalist as part of their semester-long independent study project.

It comes from Katie Santoro, who set out to understand something many of us feel but rarely talk about, how social media is shaping the way we think, feel, and see ourselves.

Katie spoke with a principal, a digital culture professor, a TikTok creator, and someone who stepped away from social media completely.

What she found is a story about identity, pressure, and the search for something real in a world that’s always watching.
