People Use Twitter To Relay Thoughts And Talk About Messages They Relate To
Ott, B. L. (2017). The age of Twitter: Donald J. Trump and the politics of debasement. Critical Studies in Media Communication, 34(1), 59-68.
The article explores the changing behavior of the public discourse in the use of Twitter. The author focuses on the elements of Twitter, such as impulsive, simple, and uncivil. The study was conducted by analyzing the Twitter feed of President Donald Trump. The author mentions that some Twitter content can be harmful depending on what we choose to tweet. He further provides a figurative report of the same, indicating that 80% of Twitter users use it to relay their thoughts and talk about messages they relate to. The remaining 20% use it on social, political, and cultural issues, thus raising the danger. The author explores Twitter logic and discusses its effects: twitter demands simplicity, promotes impulsivity and fosters incivility. Donald Trump is known to use Twitter to his advantage no matter what it takes, and the author gives an example; @realDonaldTrump “Thanks-many are saying I’m the best 140-character writer in the world.” However, it is not clear if anyone ever said that in the first place.
