New Media and Politics Group

The New media and politics group had us use this very cool website to answer question they asked use about certain issues as we texted a number they provided us with our answers. This was used to prove how technology would be much more useful and effective. In 1920 when the radio started to be used more often and also emerge as a news media for politics it was one of the main mediums used. Then later on during 1965-1973 the television started to storm though out the world and started to be used as well for candidates’ campaigns to gain support. Now a couple of years later in the 20^th century this has completely changed. Politics and news use all sorts of medium’s to get information out to the people or if they are trying to reach out to a certain group.  For example, 50% of people do online/ emails to get news around or be able to reach a group of people at the same time and there is 10% who use apps and texting for the same purpose. One great example of these mediums being used are during campaigns if the politics when they are trying to raise money, by using the internet, apps, emails and television to reach out to people it is more likely more people will be willing to donate digitally rather than mailing this or going to a campaign held by the politics. This comes to show that media has a great effect to the people depending on how the information that is being shared could influence the views of each politician. The number of forging bureaus reduced by 50% by news corporations, because covering un-important news such as Justin Bieber got arrested last week is much cheaper than having bureaus anywhere in the world. In 2008 Barak Obama was the first president to use a great amount of social media to win the campaign and now currently Donald Trump is the top dog of social medias as he becomes talked about all over the news with all the ignorant remarks he has to say he is well all over Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This  group had a great presentation but at the end i feel like lots of the information was repeated by the other group members just in different forms, but the overall presentation was great except some of the slide shows were kept up for a couple seconds making it hard to get all the information.
