Christian Fuchs discusses Twitter on BBC Radio 4
A BBC Radio 4 programme, hosted by David Baker, and broadcast on the 18th December, asks how did Twitter, invented to allow friends to keep track of each other’s social lives and interests, become a key forum for political debate? And what effect has the social media platform had on the nature and quality of public life? Presenter David Baker speaks to the man who taught President Trump everything he knows about Twitter, the head of President Obama’s social media campaign, Twitter’s own leader on strategy for public policy, and CAMRI’s Prof. Christian Fuchs, to explore the real effect that it has had on politics.
