Communicating Politics
summary
Government communication adopts Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube starting in 2010 and learns that channel shapes content not vice versa; official output runs alongside press conferences and town halls, not instead of them. A citizens’ dialogue runs online and feeds proposals to the cabinet. Mistakes and distortions travel globally — an 800,000 misreported figure and a refugee selfie spark false narratives — while embassy teams run “rumors about Germany” counters and track a St Petersburg troll factory.
