Social media has replaced local news in communities across the UK. It is weakening community engagement and participation in local democracy.

I got my start in public relations, interestingly enough, doing political campaigns and community organizing back in South Carolina in 2007. I learned a lot about public speaking, community organizing, canvas operations, and just really being an agent of change in my local community. Absolutely.

Against all the odds in 2005 he held onto his seat, mainly because he was such a highly regarded local MP. Not only is she active at community events and on the doorstep, but she also makes fantastic use of social media to listen and talk with thousands of local people.
