Abstract

As technological innovations unfold, the youth are vast to understand the intricacies of Information
Technology (IT), and have become fascinated by the ease in communication that they spend a bulk of their
daily communication online. Scholars have expressed concerns over the powerful influence of unguided new
media communication especially among the modern youth who practically live online. This concern is born
out of the fact that the new media invariably shapes the way in which individuals perceive the world, values,
and culture. Based on this, this study sought to find out the cultural relevance of the information that students
of Babcock University (BU) and Olobisi Onobajo University (OOU) seek online through a survey of 500
students equally selected from both tertiary institutions. The result revealed 91% of the students seek cultural
information online, out of which majority (52%) seek cultural information on dressing, while cultural
information on custom and tradition are in the minority. The study recommends that students be led to
develop an interest in every aspect of culture through the academic curriculum, and parents in order to foster
a comprehensive cultural relevance in their new media interaction.
