Aim. To study the relationship of the means of obtaining everyday information with the social activity of young people. Methodology. The author conducted an empirical study in which respondents were asked to evaluate the frequency of various forms of social activity and the frequency of using various means of obtaining everyday information using the developed school questionnaires. Based on the correlation analysis, the paper presents a set of relationships between various forms of social activity and various groups of means of obtaining everyday information. Results. In the course of the study, it was found out that different groups of means aimed at obtaining everyday information differ in the number of forms of social activity, in terms of connections. It is established that the manifestation of different areas of social activity is not so much the form of the means of obtaining daily information as content and shaping the agenda, which in turn may have certain specificity, depending on the form of the means of obtaining everyday information. Research implications. The obtained results complement the theoretical picture of the study of factors affecting the manifestations of young people’s social activity. From the practical point of view, the results obtained can be used in planning and organizing social work with young people.
