Last month I took part in the discussion panel Politics of Social at Social Media Week Sydney — and here’s a video, finally.
Yes, I’m dealing with my backlog of posts.
What was this discussion all about?
Trust, authority and credibility are arguably more crucial in politics than anywhere else. Social media is now an essential part of the political process for MPs, citizens, and lobbyists, but how does that change public perception, the end results, and their impact on society? Our political experts will dissect past and present political activity to determine what the evolution of social media has achieved in political realm, and how political communications is likely to continue evolving.
Joining moderator Kate Carruthers, co-founder of Social Innovation Sydney, on 24 September 2014 were (left to right): Alex Greenwich, independent Member for Sydney in the Parliament of NSW; political sociologist Ariadne Vromen, associate professor at the University of Sydney; myself; and Steph Harmon, managing editor of Junkee at The Sound Alliance.
It was a lively discussion, and the video is over the fold, immediately below. Enjoy.
If that embedded video doesn’t work for you, you can watch it on Livestream.
