Social media is allowing government communicators to connect and converse with constituents in ways not possible through traditional communications. In a study that included a digital ethnography and in-depth interviews with federal social media managers, one interviewee noted that more than half of their interactions on Twitter were responding to citizens (Mergel, 2016).

The capabilities created through social media’s many uses have forever changed global politics, business, and interpersonal communication.

However, is a disadvantage because when it came to Labour Mr MacLennan’s remarks over the network site Twitter and that this had been the case that had been explained by well-acknowledged people that things within the internet could be easily retrieved once deleted.

Over the past several years, more and more people have been using the internet and social media. These things are now a big factor of modern day culture. Most adults use social media in one way or another, whether it be Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram, for example. All of these are places where anyone can express their opinions on issues, whether they are political, social, or economical, where their voice can be heard by anyone. Additionally, this day in age, almost anyone, any age, is on the internet, searching the web, or doing whatever they desire to do. Because of the popularity of the internet, the government began surveillance on people’s internet usage. This became a very controversial subject as there are those who support it and those that do not. Although there are certain individuals that the government should watch, they should avoid surveillance on the average, innocent, everyday citizen.

The internet has proven itself to be a strong and convenient tool for people all around the world to stay connected and have immediate access to vital information right from their computers or smartphones. With the advent of social media sites such as Facebook, which now boasts over a billion monthly active users, more people than ever are using these platforms to keep in touch with world events and breaking news. However, this quick and streamlined access to information has created an expectation in the general public for news and media to be as concise as possible. This newfound expectation for instant, to-the-point news has opened the doors for any source on the web to fabricate brief, sensationalist articles, and in the process lost the nuance and reliability once held by the longer works of well established news publications. Making matters worse, the current framework of these social media sites is designed to favor the viral and controversial, as it draws in more users and keeps them online longer. The internet and social media have changed the way people read their news, so modern media is adapting to be full of polarizing, simple and often outrageous answers to keep these readers engaged, leaving little room to meet in the middle and thus furthering the divide between people of opposing viewpoints in our country.

In their article "Social Media and Public Administration: Theoretical Dimensions and Introduction to the Symposium,” published in 2011 in Administrative Theory & Praxis Vol. 33, Iss. 3, pp. 325-340, authors Thomas A. Bryer and Staci M. Zavatarro introduce the rising trend of social media use in public administration, in both government agencies and nonprofits. As public administration scholars and practitioners themselves, the authors sought to analyze these trends further, and to explore more comprehensively how social media technologies are utilized in public organizations, as well as these methods’ outcomes. The article is laid out as follows: First, the authors attempt to define social media; second, they identify common challenges and obstacles that public organizations face when utilizing social media tools ; and finally, they identify areas for future research. The authors hope that ultimately their research will provide assistance to those public administration practitioners interested in successfully utilizing social media.
