Media Literacy Campaign: Put down the phone

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 2 Company Information

Our company, GoSocial! Nevada is a non­profit organization with the mission of

increasing the media literacy of society by bringing awareness to the dependency our society has

on technology. GoSocial! Nevada was founded by a group of five college students who came up

with the idea to start a social movement encouraging their classmates to stop relying on their

phones and technology in social situations. We are not looking to tell society what to do, but

instead are looking to simply make people think about the choices they make on a daily basis

surrounding their media consumption. Our company is looking to start a social movement, via

social media, encouraging society to be more aware of their dependency on technology and to

think twice when they pull out their phones in social situations.

Mission Statement

We strive to make people think twice about relying on technology in social situations and

encourage students to put down the phone and enjoy life around them.

Short Description

Students encouraging students to break out of their technology bubbles and GoSocial!

Vision

When on campus, or in any social setting, we want to see more people interacting with

each other than with their phones. Reaching this goal takes education, and we want to alert

students about this problem and increase their awareness about this issue. We want our media

literacy awareness campaign to start with the students at the University of Nevada, but our

ultimate goal is to see it expand past our school and reach a broader scope.

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 3 Why GoSocial! Nevada?

Go Social! is a campaign to help the milleniums become aware of how attached

they are to their cell phones and the lack of face­to­face communication. Our campaign

relates to the interaction of face­to face communication within our society and the

dependence on our cell phones. There has been an influx of studies and news articles

looking at the relationship between social anxiety and social media and technology use

(Hampton, Goulet, Ja Her & Rainie, 2009; Kraut, Patterson, Lundmark, Kiesler, Mukophadhyay

& Scherlis, 1998; Pierce, 2009; Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan & Gladwell, 2013; Ryan,

Chester, Reece & Xenos, 2014; Thomée, Härenstam & Hagberb, 2011; Valenzuala, Park & Kee;

Wallace, 2014; Weeks, 2012; White, 2008). Research has been conducted from multiple

sources on face­to­face communication and on the distractions that cell phone use has

created in our communication.

According Hampton, Goulet, Ja Her, and Rainie (2009), few Americans are socially

isolated. Fifty­eight percent of people use face­to­face communication as their predominant way

of communicating with others (Hampton et. al., 2009). About 30 percent of 18­22 year olds use

social networking to reach 90 percent of their core contacts which indicates the importance of

communication on phones (Hampton et. al., 2009). While social media may increase social ties

between people because of easy access to communication, there are downfalls to constant

interaction with people online rather than in person. According to an article by Shea Bennet in

adweek that discussed the topic of social media addiction conducted that 18 percent of

social media users can't go a few hours without checking Facebook (Bennet, 2014). These

statistics are relevant to GoSocial! Nevada because they recognize the amount of cell

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 4 phone use used by everyone. Kraut, Patterson, Lundmark, Kiesler, Mukophadhyay, & Scherlis

(1998) found that during the first two years online participants’ internet use led them to having

less social engagement and poor psychological well being.

The landscape in which we communicate with each other is evolving. Weeks (2012)

states that “before our very eyes, [Mary Stairs Vaughn, a professor of communication studies at

Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn.,] says, the realms of interpersonal communication and

mass communication are converging. People today have the opportunity to "brand" themselves

via Facebook status updates and tweets, Vaughn says, "so now instead of talking to each other,

they're more likely to read about each other."

According to Fox and Raine (2014), the use of cellphones in the United States has risen

from 53 percent in 2000 to 90 percent in 2014, and the ownership of smartphones rose from 35

percent in 2011 to 58 percent now in 2015. The Pew Internet Project’s social networking

factsheet (2015) shows that 40 percent of cell phone owners use their phone to access social

networking sites, and 28 percent of them access social networking sites on a typical day. The

research conducted by the Pew Internet Project reports 90 percent of internet users between the

ages of 18­29 (Millennials) use social networking sites as of 2013, rising from 9 percent in 2005

(Social networking fact sheet, 2015).

There is something to be said for putting down the phone and just enjoying the people

around you, and we want to make people think about that. One of the biggest social media

trends of the past year has been the emergence of JOMO over FOMO, or the joy of missing out

over the fear of missing out (Eyal & Lumen, 2015). According to Eyal and Lumen (2015),

‘“FOMO was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013, and “refers to the feeling of

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 5 ‘anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere.’” There is a

need for people to always be in the know about the activities of their peers and not miss out on

anything (Wallace, 2014; White, 2008). This is a problem because when people have

FOMO they have the tendency to feel anxiety and always need to be around their phone

because that is their way of knowing everything is going on and the main form of their

communication. Our goal is to get our generation to reevaluate its constant media

consumption and improve face­to­face interactions among individuals in a social

environment.

Target audience

Our campaign will be targeted toward Millennial students at the University of Nevada,

Reno. We believe this is a prevalent issue among students at our university and something that

has the ability to change among this group with more awareness.

The Millennial demographic comprises of 18­25 year olds, those who are either currently

in college or have recently graduated (Taylor & Keeter, 2010). According to Pew Internet

Project’s social networking factsheet (2015), 90 percent of Millennials have a profile on a social

networking site. They are part of the demographic that grew up during the social media

revolution. The changing media landscape caused Millennial youths to develop a tendency

toward using technology as a safety net in social situations that has created a habit of relying on

phones in a potentially awkward situation (Pierce, 2009). We want our audience to think more

critically about their social interactions and whether or not they should pull out their phones.

The Millennial generation is at such a place in their lives where they are the nations’ next

influential group of individuals (Taylor & Keeter, 2010). Targeting Millennials for our

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 6 campaign can allow for a more long­term impact because this demographic is the next wave of

business professionals and the next wave of parents (Taylor & Keeter, 2010). Millennials have

the ability to influence the habits of future generations and can help to shape a new media

landscape (Taylor & Keeter, 2010). By being more aware about how we interact now,

Millennials can teach future generations to be more aware of their tendency to use

phones/technology in social landscapes instead of meeting new people and developing better

interpersonal communication skills.

Campaign significance

This campaign, we believe, will play an integral role in helping to spread awareness

among students at the University of Nevada, Reno that there is a problem with way we rely on

our phones in social environments. Our campaign is trying to get the message across to students

that there is a problem with the way we interact in our face­to­face communication while in

social environments. There is a lack of attention when people interact face­to­face because they

are consistently engaging more with technology and their phones in these face­to­face situations

than the people they are with. This problem can be solved by encouraging students to put down

the phone and be in the moment when they are engaging in face­to­face interactions with their

peers. We are not trying to halt all social media use altogether, but rather create a community

where being social carries more meaning in interpersonal, face­to­face communication than with

online communication on social networking sites.

The basic premise of our campaign is to spread awareness about the problem and

encourage students to take it upon themselves to fix it in their own lives. We decided to use

social media as the basis for our put down the phone campaign as a way to reach our audience.

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 7 We believe using social media for our cause will have the same effect as a billboard on a freeway

telling people not to text and drive. The basic idea behind not texting and driving is not driving

distracted; the billboards themselves are distracting to drivers, but seeing a reminder to not text

and drive makes the driver think twice about texting and driving. This is our goal with our

campaign. We want individuals who see our posts to think twice about whether or not they

should be on social media networking sites in that moment. The social media will also act as the

driving force encouraging students to attend our end of the campaign event, where we will bring

students together and engage in a discussion about the problem and how students can fix it.

GoSocial! Nevada Social Media Campaign

GoSocial! Nevada launched a multi­medium social media campaign to promote our cause

and advertise our event. Our plan is to use social media as a way to reach the target audience of

Millennials, because they are known as the social media generation (Taylor & Keeter, 2010).

GoSocial! Nevada’s Put Down the Phone movement is a media literacy campaign focused on

encouraging Millennials to put down the phone in social situations. The GoSocial! Nevada media

awareness campaign was composed of visual advertisements for social media content

(Appendices A­G, as well as videos and surveys.

Step one of our campaign included our self­evaluation of our own social media and

technology consumption, coupled with producing a video on February 22 about our campaign.

In order to jump­start our media literacy campaign, the members of GoSocial! Nevada

documented the amount of times each of us checked our phones to look at social media (this

includes playing games) or looked to see if w­e received any notifications. We documented

these numbers within a twelve­hour window of time from starting when each member woke up.

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 8 We learned that, as a whole, we check our phones at unnecessary times and rely too much on

technology.

We then used the data we collected as inspiration for a video explaining the premise of

GoSocial! Nevada and the motives behind it. The video was used to explain our campaign and

give our audience a more in­depth look as to what GoSocial! Nevada is. It consisted of

interviews from each member of the group about GoSocial! Nevada and what it means to them,

as well as personal testimonials and pet peeves about technological dependency of our

generation and interacting with people in social settings. The video started with shots of us

introducing ourselves in a sort of “technology dependents anonymous” style, discussing our own

personal dependencies we’ve come to realize. This helped to show students that we realize we

face the same problem as them, and it is up to all of us as individuals to come together and fix it.

It then moved into our own pet peeves about interacting with people in social situations, and

follow with personal accounts of what GoSocial! Nevada means to us as individuals. The last

component of the video will consist of the group coming together to explain what the campaign

is and why we think it is important. The video will then conclude with a call­to­action with the

group members encouraging others to GoSocial!. The launch video was posted on March 9 and

acted as the driving force to increase our social media audience (see Appendix H). The video

was posted on the Facebook page we created for GoSocial! Nevada as a way to get out

information about our cause.

In addition, we collected data via an online survey on Survey Monkey as a baseline to

determine how often students at Nevada are on their phones and social media to look at their

media use (see Appendice I­L). The survey was posted on Facebook and shared with students at

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 9 the University of Nevada. The survey contained questions surrounding how often students use

various social media networking sites, how many followers they have for each site, how students

can be more social on campus, and what GoSocial! Nevada means to them.

On the Facebook page, we created content based on studies or any articles in the news

relevant to our campaign topic (see Appendix M). The Facebook also contained a photo album

of students who pledged to GoSocial! and take a picture with our sign. We also used Twitter as a

way for the company to share tips about staying off the phone in social situations where it is not

necessary (see Appendix N). In addition, we created an Instagram account as a host for our

#gosocialnevada campaign that will encourage students to put down the phone in social

situations with visually appealing content (see Appendix O). The visual component of the

campaign was hosted through Instagram, which was linked through Facebook and Twitter, and

acted as our own version of social media “billboards.” Each advertisement consisted of a

highlighted awareness message, as well as the logo for GoSocial! Nevada and our hashtags (see

Appendices A­G). All of the social media accounts were used to promote our final event at the

end of the GoSocial! Nevada media literacy campaign.

The GoSocial! Nevada media literacy campaign concluded with a speed friending event

to encourage students to get to know each other without their phones. This event served as our

final message to the student population at the University of Nevada, Reno. The goal of this

event was to provide students with an environment where they can get to know new people,

without the distraction of their phones or social media.

In order to promote our event, we tabled outside the Joe Crowley Student Union on April

14 and April 16 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to spread awareness about our campaign and encourage

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 10 students to GoSocial!. During our tabling, we encouraged students to take a picture with our

pledge sign (see Appendix P) and fill out a survey about GoSocial! Nevada (see Appendix Q) .

This survey asked students to evaluate GoSocial! Nevada by asking them when they first heard

about the campaign and whether or not they believe it is important. In addition, we also

distributed flyers for the speed friending event to the students who pledged to GoSocial!.

In order to get our message out to a larger audience of students and further promote the

GoSocial! Nevada speed friending event, we also compiled a video of students around campus

talking about GoSocial! Nevada and what the campaign means to them (see Appendix R). The

video portrayed students on campus giving personal testimonials about people using phones in

social environments. Following the testimonials, the video featured the students describing what

GoSocial! Nevada means to them. The finale of the video showed students pledging to

GoSocial! and encouraging others to do so as well. This allowed us reach a broader scope of

individuals as we were able to expand out of our own online social networks and into others’

networks as well. The video was posted to our Facebook on Monday, April 20 to increase

awareness about the campaign movement and the event occurring later that week.

The GoSocial! Nevada speed friending event was held on April 23 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.

in the Graduate Student Lounge on the 3rd Floor of the Joe Crowley Student Union. The event

comprised of tables and chairs to facilitate the speed­friending opportunity, where students sat

across from one another and get to know each other for two minutes before moving on to the

next person. Students were told to find a chair when they arrive, which were labelled either A or

B. The GoSocial! Nevada facilitators gave each pair of students sitting across from each other

two minutes to get to know one another; talking point suggestions were provided at each station

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 11 with ice­breaker questions such as, “what’s your favorite quote” or “if you have any superpower,

what would it be.” After two minutes, the facilitators directed all of the students sitting in a chair

labelled “B” to rotate to the next station. This process continued until each student labelled “A”

met each student sitting in a “B” chair. At the end of the event, each student was also given a

survey to fill out evaluating the campaign’s importance (see Appendix Q). The goal of the speed

friending event was to encourage students to get to know their fellow students and give them an

environment to interact without technology.

“Put Down the Phone” Campaign Objectives

Throughout the course of our “Put Down the Phone” campaign, we want to:

Gain at least 100 followers on each of the GoSocial! Nevada social media outlets

by the end of the campaign.

Have at least 75 posts (images) with people on campus pledging to GoSocial!

Nevada.

Have at least 30 respondents to our survey

Have at least 30 attendants at our GoSocial! Nevada speed friending event at the

end of the campaign

Evaluation

Our GoSocial! Nevada campaign ran throughout the course of the semester and served as

an awareness campaign for University of Nevada, Reno students to put down their phones in

social environments. Our media awareness campaign targeted students at the university through

multiple mediums (social media, word­of­mouth, face­to­face interactions, and a special event).

The campaign sought to act as a reminder for students to spend less time with their phones and

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 12 more time being in the present when in situations of interpersonal, face­to­face communication

environments.

GoSocial! set forth a series of objectives that would serves as a meter for campaign

effectiveness based upon whether or not they were met. The objectives are as follows: Gain at

least 100 followers on each of the social media outlets, have at least 100 images of people

pledging to GoSocial!, have at least 30 respondents to our surveys, have at least 30 attendees at

end of campaign speed friending event. At the end of our campaign, we had 111 page likes on

Facebook, 225 followers on Instagram and 54 followers on Twitter. In the beginning of our

campaign, we found that Twitter was not the most effective way to reach our audience, so we

mainly focused on Facebook and Instagram, where we reached our objective. We had a total of

116 pictures of people pledging to GoSocial! in our Facebook album. In some pictures, we had

groups of people pledging so we passed the objective of 116.

Of the students that participated in the pre­survey, 7 were females, 8 were males, and 1

was non­disclosed (see Appendix I). Additionally, 2 participants identified as 2 sophomores, 7

identified as juniors, and 7 identified as seniors at the University of Nevada, Reno. The results

of the survey showed that 25 percent of the respondents spend 0­3 hours per day on their phone,

50 percent spend 4­7 hours per day on their phone, 12.5 percent spend 8­11 hours, and the last

12.5 percent spend 12 plus hours per day on their phone (see Appendix J). The respondents

spent less time on social media per day than on their phones; 31.25 percent spend 0­3 hours,

43.75 percent spend 4­7 hours, 25 percent spend 8­11 hours per day on social media, and none of

respondents spend more than twelve hours per day on social media (see Appendix J). The

survey also showed that most of the respondents had between 600­1000 plus Facebook friends,

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 13 0­600 Instagram followers, and 0­400 Twitter followers (see Appendix K). Respondents were

also more likely to use their phones in the elevator or walking to class than at a meal with friends

or family (see Appendix L). The pre­survey helped us gage how often people are on the phone

and the social media presence of the Nevada students.

When reaching out to students through the tabeling efforts to promote the speed friending

event, we received positive feedback from almost all of those that we talked to about GoSocial!

Nevada and what it means for the Nevada campus. Everyone we interacted with agreed this was

a problem, and was interested in what we were doing with the campaign. Through our social

media postings, we sparked intrigue among those who viewed our content and found that many

view the campaign as a movement that is beneficial to how people interact with each other

face­to­face around campus and in their lives. People would comment on our post to show

support, or come up to us in person to see how they can participate. In addition, we were also

approached by ASUN officials who commended the efforts of the campaign and discussed the

possibility of continuing GoSocial! Nevada around campus past the end of our scholastic

endeavors for GoSocial!.

We had 24 people take our post­survey (see Appendices S­U). Of the students that

responded, we had 16 males and 8 females, 1 identified as freshman, 5 identified as sophomores,

11 identified as juniors, 6 identified as seniors and 1 identified as a grad student. When we asked

on a scale of 1­10 (10 being very important) how important is it for students to GoSocial! and put

down their phones in social situations we received an average of 8.06. This showed that our

campaign was important to Nevada students and they agreed that this is a problem.

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 14

In the survey, we also asked what are some suggestions they would have for Nevada

students to GoSocial!. The most common answer was attending campus events, and the second

was talking to people. It is important to be involved on campus and supportive by attending

events. This is also an easy way to GoSocial!.

GoSocial! Nevada was founded because we saw a problem not only with the social

interactions and technological dependency of others, but also a problem with how we personally

rely on our phones when in social situations. We wanted to show students that there is problem

with our generation and how we interact more with our phones than with our peers. GoSocial!

Nevada used social media and new media to reach our target audience and promote the

campaigns efforts. The premise behind using social media to encourage students to put down

their phones was to act as an awareness reminder. The goal of this was to integrate our message

of putting down the phone into an online setting that acts as one of the distractions people use

when they should potentially be interacting face­to­face. We received feedback on our social

media that the message was contradictory, which may have hindered the success of the message

GoSocial! Nevada created to make the audience more aware of the problem being addressed.

However, when students came across put down the phone messages embedded into the

GoSocial! Nevada social media content, it acted as a way to raise awareness and make students

reevaluate whether or not they should even be on their phones and scrolling through social media

if they are in a social setting at the time.

The Millennial generation of students at the University of Nevada were the only audience

targeted. This audience is only a fraction of the Millennials in the United States that could

eventually be reached through similar media awareness and put down the phone campaigns.

GOSOCIAL! NEVADA MEDIA LITERACY CAMPAIGN 15 Ultimately, we would love to see similar campaigns pop up around the nation to influence the

generation of Millennials that can stop this problem in its tracks and teach our society to enjoy

the presence of those around them and put down their phones in social environments.
