SEATTLE — At its 55th Commission for Social Development, the U.N. discussed how the international community could best harness the power of media, especially social media, to educate and transform how people engage with reducing poverty. The media is a prominent vehicle of public information, making it an effective resource to help shape opinion and policy. Social media can help poverty reduction by harnessing the power of information sharing to raise public awareness and involvement.

With many world leaders committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, reducing poverty is receiving more news coverage, opening the many opportunities the media has to contribute to ending poverty. With the ability to inform the public, the media can increase awareness of economic, social and environmental issues, the three pillars of sustainable development. It can also serve as an inclusive forum for people who have experienced poverty to share their experiences, concerns and opinions.

The Importance of Tipping the Balance
A 2014 study of three prominent American nightly news sources found that in 14 months, an average of only 2.7 seconds in every 22 minute program mentioned poverty. Over the same period, the. network news shows aired almost four times as many stories that contained the word “billionaire.”

According to the U.N., numerous examples show how media involvement can help reduce poverty and bring basic services to vulnerable populations.

What Does Using Social Media to Reduce Poverty Actually Look Like?
In 2016, a post-airstrike video of Omran Daqneesh, a rescued Syrian boy, was posted on social media and viewed millions of times shortly after publication. A global headline, the photo quickly transformed into a social media meme, a cartoon depicting the tough choices faced by Syrian children and sparked discussions about the Syrian war.

Sharing powerful images can spur quick action. An image of Alan Kurdi, a Syrian boy who drowned while leaving Syria for Greece, gained similar attention. Sharing it via social media had real outcomes: MercyCorps garnered $2.3 million donation dollars for Syrian refugees in one month, compared to the $4.5 million raised in four years before.
