How to politicians use the media effectively?
Obviously a politician has to interact with as many people as possible. What a politicians primarily need are the mass votes. And this mass support comes only when one interacts with more and more people and presents their vision well in the public. Social media in specific provides exactly the audience, as a politician, are targeting the educated masses. Popularity among us teenagers is best achieved through social networking sites like facebook, and twitter. Social media provides the people interaction and spreads the intended ideas over the people within minutes. A personal blog or inspiring status update can sometimes be more effective than a public speech because when people see it they might decide to reblog it. I personally reblog good quotes and this spreads the ideas further. It’s a good way to build a trustworthy image for many politicians.
