Media and Politics

Abstract

Aiming to examine political expressions and commentaries in the age of globalization, this study on media and politics looks into modern media available on the internet, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. It is found that modern media play a major role in political expressions and commentaries made by the people, particularly with regards to the victory of Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, where modern media, including Facebook and Twitter, were employed to communicate with the U.S. voters during the campaign. The study also highlights the influence of modern media that comes with the technological progress in the age of globalization, which has opened up a newer and more current domain for political commentaries.
