Abstract

This commentary explores the impact of social media on communication patterns in urban Ghana. A qualitative approach was employed through thematic analysis of online content, interviews with local users, and observations of social media usage patterns in urban settings. The analysis reveals that social media has become an integral part of daily communication routines, influencing both personal and professional spheres among urban Ghanaians. Future research should consider the long-term effects of these changes on community cohesion and cultural norms related to communication.
