Part C: An individual evaluation outlining my thoughts and feelings on the media's role in the political campaign.
Personally, I think the media played a huge part in the campaign allowing more buzz and attention to be created with the candidates, both positively and negatively. The media allowed more people worldwide to become interested in the controversy and scandals which were emphasised by the amount of news coverage; toward the end of the campaign it all seemed quite childish and a competition as to who wasn't the worst, with Clinton trying to rise above in debates and seem like the better candidate even though she had the email scandal. However, Twitter allowed the candidates to show their true self, reacting to each other and the general public. The huge media involvement perfectly represents the changing world and upcoming generation and how we respond better to social media and what's trending.
