This paper was written by students from the London School of Economics (LSE) Master of Public Administration (MPA) programme in collaboration with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Media Action.
Publication date: September 2013
Overview: This briefing highlights the findings of the LSE students’ work undertaken between October 2012 and March 2013: a literature review and analysis of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Media Action data from Palestinian Territories and Bangladesh on use of social media and civic participation.
Findings include:
- Use of social media is positively associated with political efficacy and offline participation in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Media Action data
- These findings imply that Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Media Action should engage purposefully with social media as a catalysing complement to traditional TV and radio programming
