Political communications has played a large part in our world for decades but has recently been altered significantly due to the rise of social media. While the concept of conveying information to politicians, news outlets and the public has remained the same, the ways in which it’s done have changed. Instead of getting news directly from the source, we’re now also getting it from third-parties on social media. Additionally, politicians are using social media and video platforms to their advantage by sharing their message with the public in-real time.
