Social media has really taken off over the past couple of years. The world of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat is no longer just for fun and games. Social media is used in\u00a0so many different aspects of our world I honestly can’t think of what life would be like without it. For me, I get my news from Twitter and Facebook. I keep up with pop culture through Instagram, and I learn and educate myself on current and relevant events on these platforms as well. The major topic in social media in 2016: Trump and Clinton.<\/p>\n

This election has taken over every aspect of social media and vise versa. Not only can I watch live debates on social media, but I can also be connected with the candidates themselves. Social media has really kept the candidates PR teams busy in this election yet still we see the true colors of Donald and Hilary shine through at times. Trump himself took upon Twitter to share his thoughts with the world in 2013. Super charismatic (see below). We’ve all heard the saying “you can never truly delete something you post on the internet”. This tweet was “deleted” when Trump started running. Nice try, Trump but social media has given the people tools to comb through your past!<\/p>\n

This has changed everything about the election. Because of social media we are all able to share and see others opinions openly and come together (or pull apart) as a nation. The opinions of many are painted all over social media it is hard to avoid it. On top of that, the credibility of the candidates suffers because of social media. Now, more than ever, people question what is real and what is a facade when they scroll through their timeline and see endless posts. The candidates are made a mockery of left and right, and their words are twisted in every direction and talked about for all to see.<\/p>\n

In our class we learn how to compose media online so I thought it would be worth it to see how America is making use of this kind of media.<\/p>\n

The transparency social media has created is both good and bad in my opinion. I can’t wait to see how it carries in future elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
