At the same time, the media tried to take advantage of the great role that social networking sites play in influencing public opinion among the various groups of the people. So it proceeded to build media plans in an effort to form a public opinion commensurate with its policy, which it seeks to achieve in an attempt to influence the various segments of society, especially the youth. Accordingly, the current research will seek to shed light on these points and deal with them in a detailed study because of their great role in making public opinion within the Saudi society, especially in light of the current conditions that the world is suffering from the Corona crisis, in which schools and institutions were closed and there was great dependence by the masses.
