Abstract

Social media is a primary database from which more relevant information is accessed from the comfort of the researcher's home. As a source of information on the internet, literary journals have greatly influenced the growth of the internet more beneficially. Many authors' opinions on particular subjects are frequently found in literary periodicals and journals like The New Yorker and The England Review, among others. This enables another researcher or author to have access to a variety of viewpoints and ideas. Literary journals frequently focus on and address a range of issues that have an impact on people's daily lives. It makes the reader aware of the social climate at the time and gives them the tools they need to handle it. Additionally, it allows the reader to gain expertise in a variety of fields without directly participating in the scenarios. Literary journals also provide a voice to the unheard in society by bringing up concerns that concern the weak and have gone unaddressed for a long time. Like other online knowledge sources, literary journals have their limitations. This essay primarily focuses on the influence of social media on literacy journals and also the impact and limitations of these literacy journals on the growth of social media.
