True Influencers and Social Responsibility

   I  consider myself both an active Instagram user and an influencer. Even though, my blog is not a highly visible and visited page, as a person who expresses his opinion and speculates on the serious themes of daily psychology, emotional states, and life essentials, I take certain responsibilities on what, how, and to whom I post. I guess my success in it is the strong psychological background and additional education within this topic - in my priority is people's world. However, I understand that not everybody has the same experience and simply might not be aware of both which information to acquire and which attitude to have towards it and the way certain information should be broadcasted. Besides that, society lives in the modern world of a wide variety of media platforms, and therefore,  is exposed to the broad spectrum of informative sources.      The first priority of the media users is to get the information as fast as possible, but one o...

However, let's focus on the positive side that outweighs the excessive worries regarding this theme. Because still, most influencers in the group or separate try to take the situation with the virus COVID-19 seriously and call on necessary actions the audience. Properly and with the least harm.       The first organization or source for future follow and news is Vogue IT . April issue was decided to be printed completely white, with no photo and captions on the coverage. Such choice represented as the identification of the " ...respect...rebirth, the light after darkness...is the color of the uniforms worn by those who put their own lives on the line to save ours " (Vogue Italia IG, April 7, 2020).

   I n the times of pandemic, influencers do not stop the purpose of the blog on any online platform. The need to stay on style, the need to remain on high demand in comparison to the potential competitors, to most bloggers online platform is the material source - their presence is being paid for. The borders of responsibility and adequate content that is being posted for the audience of more than 100k followers might have a significant response. As was mentioned in the article of Telegraph (2020), the protective masks became the new fashion cult and after one post of a public figure wearing the edition of a luxury brand received thousands of people doing the same ( Telegraph , 2020), meanwhile, the times are not easy to live in.

   R ecently on the internet became popular the discussions of psychology , emotions and feelings, self-acceptance and confessions, open disclosure of inner worries, more to this, on Instagram appeared "specialists" and "professionals" who teach and educate the audience in their blog through a variety of posts and training on demanded themes. Such media platform became overloaded with this information, and it is that significant amount that people are sometimes unable to filter the material, especially the truthful one that indeed makes sense and is taken from reliable and credible sources. The same as it became easier to receive the webinars/seminars or certificates from the educational centers or self-developed educational organizations and become the coach for one's affective rehabilitation or support.

One of the further actions of the government were to restrict people's presence at the places of mass gathering, return tourists to their mother-land, and close the borders utmost. Moreover, later people were asked to follow the quarantine and stay home for several weeks, minding their and others' health.      The spread of the virus - the speed, amount of infected people, consequences - was different in the countries, and due to the cultural dissimilarity and mentality, the process of acquisition and acceptance of such necessary isolation varied between human beings.

As Instagram became the broad media platform for the expression of opinion, for the show of one's life, one's experience, stories, and advice, it also became the way of interaction of one person or organization with the big audience that sometimes might be 15k followers, 100k, or even 1 million.      Therefore, the issue of social responsibility - and that is the influence, motivation, propaganda, commercial, attitude, call on the action, etc - became a topic to be discussed.
