Politics in the Social Media
Social media has become a really big impact on politics and encouraged young people to get involved.
With the help of social media politics now have unlimited access to reach people. Social media was a big factor for President Obama’s election he used the web to gain supporters and express his message to the people. I know this because I follow President Obama on twitter and I love the idea of our president having a twitter.
I think social media is a great way for politicians to reach out to everyone especially young people. For me going on twitter and reading tweets about what is going on in politics has helped become more involved and interested. In a typical week I may look at a newspaper once a week or on a news website once a week, however I look at my twitter multiple times every day.
Social media is also a great way for people to express their feelings or opinions on current events in politics. During the recent election the wipe out was the trending topic and I was so excited to see what everyone would say on twitter. I would encourage any politician or city official to become more active and join social media.
