How Effective Is Social Media In Leading To True Change?

In the more general sense, the U.S. has seen an amping up of activism, social movements and protests over the past year — owed in part to strong reactions to statements and tweets by President Trump.

And social media has played a significant in attracting more people to protests — both for and against the issue in question.

With me to talk about that is Jennifer Earl, professor of Sociology at the University of Arizona.
