Social Media & the Gavin Newsom Recall Attempt #FPABriefings
Manage episode 353022801 series 3380399
Were the efforts to unseat Governor Newsom in the California 2021 recall vote a grassroots uprising, or a well-plotted effort by a minority to unseat a democratically elected governor, falling into an increasing practice of using astroturf to simulate real grassroots and then setting it on fire?
Cassandra Hayes’ research explores how a small group drove outrage on social media with inflammatory posts, fanned by a cabal of activists, bots and algorithms in a coordinated effort to unseat the Democratic Governor.
Hayes, who teaches Broadcast Journalism at Stephen F. Austin State University, discusses the manipulation of social media around the recall vote to achieve political goals and offers current and historical context for journalists to evaluate similar astroturf fires.
