Trump's Tweets:

I like this article because it talks about the way people use social media to carry out their agenda, but I don't like how people get too opinionated about Trump and focus on the negative. At the expense of sounding hypocritical, I will throw in my two cents here by saying he's human and like everyone else, has his own reason for doing and saying what he says.  Yes, he is president, but if you publically post that his words have power because of his position I think that the person the writer dislikes gets even more power actually. It is the people who acknowledge him as powerful that give him the power. This article is kind of inspiring because it reminds us of the versatility of social media.  On another note, the "responsibility" is based simply on their perception of what a president is and what society thinks.

"Once maligned as low-ranking non-jobs invented for flighty but digitally nimble millennials, social media roles grew in prestige as companies recognized the importance of social media to their brands. Once President Trump made Twitter a key communication channel with the executive branch, however, social media jobs were imbued with new power—and responsibility. "

  1. Thanks for sharing this article! I shared it with our social media manager. I can see that her job has gotten much more difficult since the election -- juggling various haters/supporters/trolls, as well as trying to maintain the Fordham brand and voice though social media. It makes me think of how I am going to use social media personally moving forward. What is appropriate/not appropriate for me to say in regards to political posts as a Fordham employee...
