POLITICS - Voters Communicating via Social Media

"Voters Communicate Campaign Messages for 2012 Election Via Social Media" PBS Newshour 8/16/2012

Excerpt

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): If anyone needed evidence of the changing world of media and technology, more came today in the form of a poll published by "TIME" magazine that checked in with consumers in eight nations, including the U.S.

Among the highlights, 20 percent of respondents said they check their mobile device every 10 minutes, and 84 percent said they couldn't go a single day without their mobile devices.

We, of course, have been taking a regular look at how such changes are playing out in the presidential campaign.

And our team from the Daily Download Web site is back again tonight.

Lauren Ashburn is the site's editor in chief. Howard Kurtz is "Newsweek"'s Washington bureau chief and host of CNN's "Reliable Sources."


IMHO: Social Media = Gossip, and is not substantive.
