“…Precisely, akin to the work of [12,[45][46][47][48][49] and, social media addiction in this paper is considered a subcategory of internet addiction and cyber addiction. Furthermore, based on fieldwork, the results of [50][51][52][53] and [54][55][56][57][58] were corroborated, revealing the diversity of mobile phone usage by participants, even when not connected to the internet. Similarly, as in the work of [59][60][61][62][63][64], it was possible to find discrepancies between the perception of safe technology and social media use [65][66][67][68][69].…”

INTRODUCTION: Social networks facilitate interactions among individuals, organizations, and communities. Their usage, especially among young people, has become increasingly widespread. This surge in usage has been linked to various impacts on individuals' daily lives and well-being, particularly in academic and emotional aspects. OBJECTIVES: This study seeks to examine the extent to which excessive use of social networks (SN) contributes to social isolation among undergraduate students aged 18 to 35, residing in the departments of Cundinamarca, Boyaca, and Meta in Colombia. This phenomenon is primarily due to problematic cell phone use. METHODS: We administered two established instruments: the "Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS-10)" adapted by Foerster et al. (2015), and the "Addiction to Social Networks Questionnaire " developed by Escurra & Salas (2014). Statistical analyses included descriptive techniques, multivariate Henze-Zirkler normality test, univariate Shapiro-Wilk test, as well as non-parametric methods such as Spearman's correlation and the Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS: Key findings of this study include: (i) the identified intervention and mitigation strategies in the literature predominantly focus on prevention programs and family support with an emphasis on bolstering young people's self-esteem; (ii) 15.46% of the sample exhibited problematic cell phone use, with 25.96% indicating high intensity of social network use; (iii) significant differences were observed in relation to age and geographic location, while gender and socio-economic stratum did not exhibit a statistically significant impact; (iv) the statistical analysis demonstrated a positive and significant relationship with the dimensions of the Escurra & Salas (2014) instrument, namely Interest in Social Media (ISM), concern about lack of control (LC), and Excessive use of SN (EU). CONCLUSION: The Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS-10) emerges as a concise and effective tool for identifying problematic cell phone use, and its association with excessive social network usage underscores the interconnectedness of these behaviours. This research sheds light on the prevalence of these issues among Colombian university students and provides valuable insights for targeted intervention and support strategies, emphasizing the importance of bolstering self-esteem in youth.

Les changements qu'a vécus l'Algérie-mutations sociales, réformes économiques et crise sécuritaire-l'ont mise dans une situation de précarité sociale. Une situation qui fournit des sujets journalistiques de grand intérêt. En effet, si les indicateurs sociaux sont les indices de toute évaluation du niveau de vie et du développement, les sujets sociaux ne devraient pas seulement être des sujets secondaires mais constituer une thématique de prédilection dans l'agenda médiatique. Ainsi, les questions sociales sortiront du sousespace clos, marginal et intime pour s'approprier un nouvel espace, large, visible et pesant : l'espace public. Les sujets sociaux auxquels on s'intéresse sont ceux traités par la presse et construits en problèmes publics grâces aux processus d'écritures journalistiques. L'objectif de cet article n'est point d'expliquer ces problèmes sociaux qui devaient fournir des sujets journalistiques de prédilection. Mais plutôt il consiste à s'interroger sur l'importance que les médias et les journalistes algériens leur accordent dans leurs productions et leurs pratiques journalistiques. Mots-clés : réalité sociale ; sujet social ; construction de problème public ; sociomédiatique ; fonctions sociales des médias. Changes which lived Algeria-social transformations, economic reforms and safety crisishad made it in a situation of social precarious. A situation which provides journalists with worthwhile subjects. Indeed, if the social informers are the clues of any valuation of the living standards and of the development, social subjects has not to play a second rate only but to constitute a favourite topic in the media diary. Thus, social matters will leave the closed space, dropout and private to take a new space, wide, visible and heavy: the public space. Social subjects to which we are interested in are those treated by the press and build by public problems thanks to the process of journalistic accounts. The aim of this article is not to explain social problems that must give favourite journalistic subjects. But rather it consists to wonder about the importance which the Algerian media and journalists gave them in their productions and journalistic practises.
