Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of different media types on social groups. Currently, adolescents predominantly utilize social media to communicate their demands and preferences to adults. A robust popular movement seeking to modify the quotas for 2024 has emerged through both social media and traditional media. Public outrage is chiefly accountable for this, as seen by tweets and news articles. Individuals expressed significant dissatisfaction with their employment and task allocation to achieve objectives.

National and international news outlets have reported on the passionate and resolute tone of the adolescents leading the demonstrations. This article analyzes news articles that robustly endorse the Reform Movement in Bangladesh to explore possible media impact on the movement's future.
