How Social Media Has Changed Politics

My first article explains how vital social media has become for politics.President Obama was just the first politician to tap into the power of social media for politics and campaigns but by no means will he be the last, Now a days social media has become such a powerful tool not just for free advertisement but also for channeling direct contact between candidates and their supporter through Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.The fact that social media connects so many people together it really goes without saying that it is an easy way to get word out about fundraising for campaign, but one of the very crucial impact that social media has on politics is that it makes the candidates much more accountable. It truly is interesting to see the effects of social media on politics and it will only continue as we enter into an even deeper social realm.
