Politicians announce their decisions on this network much more often than in press conferences. Journalists watch the trends on Twitter and write about the hot topics. The media use Twitter to cover events in real time (as a comedian once said: a newspaper is paper on which you read what you learned yesterday on Twitter). Created in 2006, Twitter and its 500 million followers has become the essential platform for soft power!
Movements such as BlackLivesMatter and MeToo have used Twitter to mobilize and raise awareness about issues of racial and gender discrimination.
Overall, Twitter has become a powerful tool for soft power, allowing users to engage and mobilize around important societal issues.
To carry our message we need to be even more present on Twitter …
Every like, every share, every comment counts!
