Research Topic- The Freedom to Express with New Media: How Greatly Unreliable Information on Elections Impacts Voter Opinion
I will be researching how new media sources have expanded the realm of unreliable information related to elections. I will analyze data on how voter opinion is influenced by different sources such as Twitter, political blogs, and social media sites. With the presence of social media sites, videos and posts about candidates and election data can be either straight up incorrect or skewed. However, tons of unreliable information is spread around at an uncanny rate now with the option to share posts on Facebook, retweet, like/unlike posts, and report through different social media sites and apps. I will be researching and gathering data on how voter opinion is influenced and if stats of voter opinion has been greatly changed since the presence of new media sources have been introduced. I will look at how the outcome elections can be predicted through social media usage as well.
ReplyDeletePolitics/social media can be considered a mess to deal for any individual to deal with. But to find a government without any corruption would be to find a human not limited to the elements of being a human. Therefore from what I’ve gathered or contemplated we seem to be stuck in this infinite loop of predictable responses. Only difference as advancements in technology are created, and accessed it gives the potential for any individual to rise up for his or her own agenda.
This is an interesting topic because now you have to extra careful with the sources that you get some information because so much of it is not reliable.
