A recent survey reveals that Instagram and Snapchat are the social media platforms of choice for a majority of teenagers, according to The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs research done late last year. The survey also reveals social media use trends related to race and class, indicating that black teens are often the first to move to new platforms. Amanda Lenhart, the lead researcher on the poll, whose work has focused on teenagers and social media use, writes "It speaks to the level of embeddedness of the technology in black youth's lives and their willingness to move into new platforms more quickly than their counterparts."
