Answer 1

Answer:

With the rise of technology and the internet, people are able to communciate from across the world. People can build relationships through the internet and share ideas and opinnions. Not only are we able to connect with other people, but through these forms of communciation, we can also share news on politics across the globe or our poltical plans and ideas. Poltical parties and candidates are able to use social media platforms to reach more audiences who may not always tune into their local news stations on the T.V. or the radio. They can reach out to newer generations who are constantly communicating through the internet.

Before when news used to spread through the newspaper where it would take a lot of hard work to print out the news, with the rise in the telegraph, reporters could go across the nation chasing stories to report back to their headquarters before they even got home. Then the radio and the television rose and we had an even better way to share news and overtime it became easier and easier to reach out to the public to communicate with them in a timely manner.
