My Topic:
SNS election campaign should be allowed.
What I hope to learn from this source:
I want to get information about examples of using sns.
Notes:
1.Through SNS channels, people have evolved from their traditional role as the audience,” said Jeong Ji-hoon, director of the Information Technology Convergence Center, Kwandong University.
2. The political leverage of SNS was proven in last year’s April by-elections, Seoul City’s free school meals referendum and the mayoral by-election, all of which were regarded as tests for this year’s votes.
3.In the Oct. 26 Seoul mayoral race, civic activist Park Won-soon overcame his handicap as an independent candidate and convincingly beat the Grand National Party’s Na Kyung-won, a success largely attributable to his support from prominent Twitter users.
4. The greatest political effect of SNS is the potential rise in voter turnout, according to Chang Duk-jin, sociology professor at Seoul National University.“The use of SNS will affect the election results by up to 12 percent,” Chang said.
5. Such moves led to the development of new smartphone applications ― indicating nearby voting stations, offering cyber badges to those who confirmed their locations near polling stations, and sharing the SNS details of people with similar political inclinations.
6.“Despite some side effects and attempts to abuse it, SNS is fundamentally a free communication space and should stay that way,” Chang said.
