For my analysis I am going to look at the celebrity involvement in each campaign - Trump vs Clinton and how the media producers use this to target their audience, addresses the audience and persuades the audience.
So far I have been gathering research on the celebrity involvement.
Those for Hillary:
- Katy Perry sang at rallies and at DNC and campaigned
- Beyonce & Jay Z headlined a concert weekend before election. Bey was also at a fundraiser in May. "I want my daughter to grow up seeing a women lead our country and knowing that her possibilities are limitless," Beyoncé said at the concert. "He cannot be my president," Jay Z said of Republican Donald Trump. "He cannot be our president. Once you divide us, you weaken us. We are stronger together." Clinton: "Say you'll Bey on Team #Hillary2016, too."
