Online - We Tell You What To Think: How Social Media Influencers Craft Political Narratives
The upcoming presidential election could be one of the most crucial in the history of the U.S. As more people turn to social media for news and information about politics, influencers for conservative and liberal ideologies are trying their best to control the narrative the general public is exposed to. We will examine social media influencers for both sides and the narrative associated with each side to better understand how the public understands the current political landscape.
