Social Media & Politics

Social media is the most important news source for young generations. But how does social media affect political communication, elections and politics in general? In this course, we will discuss basic theories of digitalization, relevant political actors, media effects, polarization, filter bubbles, rabbit holes, populism, and platform regulation.
