Political Coverage Across Platforms |
Prepare: In our society today, political coverage is not relegated to mainstream news media. We see political coverage in social media as well as in alternative media. We have witnessed many political campaigns and issues take rise out of dialogue on these platforms. Read Chapter 4, “Media and Politics in the Changing Media Landscape,” of the textbook.
Reflect: After reading Chapter 4, consider how the various types of media that we have today have impacted the political process.
· What, do you believe, are the two most prevalent media platforms for covering politics in today’s society?
· Do you believe that politicians are successfully leveraging the use of social media that is really making a difference in our society?
· Do you believe that print and traditional broadcast media is still effective in the political process?
Write: Once you have considered each of the questions, write a 250- to 300-word response addressing each of them. In your initial post, you must include at least one in-text citation from the reading material and an additional in-text citation from a scholarly source that you locate in the Ashford University Library or from another credible source. At the end of your post, include your name and a full reference for all sources cited in the body of your post. All citations and references must adhere to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. .
