Dutceac Segesten, Anamaria LU orcid and Bossetta, Michael LU (2017) p.91-91
Abstract
Social media has opened up a new tactical front for political campaigns, and the 2017 General Election showed how citizens – armed with smartphones, computers, and tablets – actively enlisted their support in the online electoral battleground. In this report, we look at how Labour supporters leveraged the platform-specific features of different social media to widely promote their favored candidate or cause.
