1. Instapolitics

In the first episode of The Inkling podcast, we're looking at how social media has radically changed politics. Joining us for this week's Feature are Cristy Garratt, Social Media Editor at CNBC International, and Tommy Shane, a Digital Engagement manager at the House of Commons, Master’s student of Digital Culture & Society at King’s College London, and author of the recent Inkling article ‘Straight Talking: The Instapolitics of Donald Trump and Jeremy Corbyn’ (http://www.theinklingmag.com/now-then/rhetoric/). We’ll also be drawing on James Moran’s 2014 article ‘Politics and the Facebook Bubble’ (http://www.theinklingmag.com/technophobes-technophiles/politics-and-the-facebook-bubble/).
