What Is the Impact of Twitter? - 9780737762167

Will History tell the story that Donald Trump's success in his road to the White House was stimulated by his frequent use of Twitter? How is Twitter changing the political landscape? How has the use of a communication tool, limited to 140 characters or less, become a globally recognized dispenser of news, facts, alternative facts, and a moral compass for our society? This book compiles compelling essays and works from eyewitness accounts, governmental views, scientific analysis, and newspapers to give your readers the big picture about Twitter and its importance. Readers will be given both sides, for and against, on topics such as whether Twitter should be used for news reporting, whether the psychology behind it is healthy, and whether it will become profitable. Facts that are salient to both sides of the story are copied from the text and highlighted so readers can use them for report writing, research, or forming opinions based on relevant information.
