(Katie) Your ideas are well organized and I like the direction you are taking the article! I like how you’re incorporating course concepts like the echoing effect. Victoria, it may be interesting if you could look into how the “echoing effect” / “echo chambers” can lead down a rabbit hole, which could result in fake news. This could be a transition paragraph?

I found a scholarly article that looks into how fake news is a spreading problem. The paper looks into how “echo chambers” might be linked to this issue but figuring out the exact cause is hard because social media is so interconnected and complex.

Malia & Ella -  Since you’re looking into the 2016 and 2020 elections, it might be interesting to also incorporate something about the 2024 election and compare the three. Since there are more apps and social media use in political communication, it could be beneficial to explore this aspect as well.

I found a scholarly article (you have to download the PDF) that looks into

It's only about the 2024 election but it touches on character branding and framing through digital campaigns. The findings show the importance of politicians building a positive public image for effective digital campaigning, especially for future presidential elections.
