Tweeting Donald Trump – LBM UW new book !
At the end of 2018, another publication by the team of Laboratory of Media Studies UW was released - a multi-author monograph entitled "Tweeting Donald Trump. What is Twitter for users, journalists and the US President? From discourse analysis to eye-tracking research "(T. Gackowski, K. Brylska, M. Patera and others; reviewed by Agnieszka Hess (PhD) from the Jagiellonian University and professor Radosław Pawelec from the University of Warsaw). The authors present a multifaceted review of an interesting media and political phenomenon, which is the use of social media (on the example of Twitter) as a tool for shaping modern "soft power". This concept is based on the ability to shape other people's preferences without the use of pressure or violence, but rather with the help of a country's cultural resources. In this process, various diplomatic practices and communication tools useful at the international level are used, including Twitter, whose growing importance in conducting public diplomacy is reflected in the increasingly popular term "Twiplomacy".
