Hands-On Assignment 4

After watching SXSW’s video “Maria Ressa & Peter Pomerantsev on the Battle for Truth” I decided to do this assignment on social media’s effects on politics. I thought this topic fit well with information we learned in past weeks, specifically social media propaganda and social media’s role in the spread of misinformation. Additionally, I personally struggled with my political identity in terms of social media– I unintentionally let it shape the way I think.
