What’s the impact on politics?
![Page 36: Social Media and Politics - WordPress.com · 2016-02-27 · social media 5 years as a journalist covering politics. I’m on the Grid. ... changing world of public relations.

If a conversation takes place online and you’re not there to hear or see it, did it actually happen?
“Indeed. Conversations are taking place with or without you.
“If you’re not part of the conversation, then you’re leaving it to others to answer questions and
provide information, whether it’s accurate or incorrect. Or, even worse, you may be leaving it up
to your competition to jump in to become the resource for the community. Yes, there will be
negative comments. Yes, you’ll invite unsolicited feedback. Yes, people will question your
intentions.
“Negativity will not go away simply because you opt out of participating. Negative commentary,
at the very least, is truly an opportunity to change the perception that you did or didn’t know
existed.

Group ProjectParticipants in the class will be broken into small groups during the first week of class. Each
group will work on a real life project to develop a comprehensive social media campaign for a
business or organization assigned to the team. Team members are expected to start working on
the project from the first week.
Groups will present their campaign during the last week of class. The campaign presentation

As part of the presentation, the group will submit a written report that details all the steps taken
to complete the project. The report must be at least four pages in length, but no more than six. It
will be written in a 12-pt font and double-spaced.
