Political Communications and the 2015 British Election

Editor's Notes

  1. Or is it this nine year old? Martha Payne’s school dinner blog Never Seconds was banned by Argyle and Bute council – within a few hours they had to change their minds and allow her to continue after a storm of protest on twitter. The ending was even more happy because Martha used all the attention online to raise £100,000 for a charity that provides school dinners for poor children around the world. The answer to the question is all of them – but particularly the nine year old girl. They are all examples of new actors in the media environment – forget the BBC, CNN, Times etc – these are the change-makers – not the most important sources of information, not the most influential – but these are the new kids – literally – on the block – and because you don’t know what they are going to do next they are dangerous – no-one predicted them but here they are. All of them are acting in an ethical way. And the girl is the most dangerous because she has the least predictable motive of all. All of them are powerful because of new media trends that are reshaping our world – the world you do business in.
