Title	Effects of New Media on Writing Skills of Millennial Mass Communication Majors
Abstract	The purpose of this literature review is to assess the Millennial generation, their traits, characteristics, and use of technology - primarily social media, as observed and explained by literature and studies. It is an exploration of advantages and disadvantages of intensive use of technology, social media, use of textisms, and the effects on preparedness for writing courses in mass communication programs at post-secondary institutions. Perceptions of excellent writing skills from the Millennial's point-of-view and professors teaching writing courses at the postsecondary level in mass communication programs, differ. The literature review is an analysis of the possible cause and effect impact of technology on how Millennial students think and process information, and the writing skills of this generation in preparing for mass communication careers.
