My first article that I found talks about social media and political engagement. Social media has become a great marketing tool for people in the political field. Social media has more of an impact of younger groups 44% of individuals ages 18 to 29 interact or will comment about their political views via social media. This has helped get more younger people involved in politics. There was a survey done with this article, and 85% of the people who took part in the survey use social media. By using social media as part of a campaign or a way to get more people encouraged about politics.

Alex you found a truly enlightening article that gives a very good portrayal of users on social media participating with social media. With your article it is very clear to see that not only is social media becoming one of the most important tools for campaigns and political activists but it also gets the younger generation involved in politics instead of sitting by and watching the government around us come crashing down. I think your article holds true weight about the influence social media holds.
