Surffs (the web) up

      Politics has been in the media for many decades now. As shown in class Propaganda was a huge part of US, Britain, Soviet and even Nazi Germany history. It is powerful imagery backed up with a ton of emotion and pride. Weather it was positive or negative the messages were loud and unforgettable. Though those methods of mass communications were effective, now and days we have it even more easier with the birth of social media. Many political campaigns are catching momentum now more than ever before.
     One example the Surfrider Foundation is an organization here in California that is growing tremendously. They are a non- profit dedicated to keeping the ocean clean and ready for our enjoyment. They have a Facebook page and can be found at https://www.facebook.com/surfrider
They currently have 200 thousand + likes and have an interactive  following. Posting current environmental issues that relate to the ocean and also showing what we can do to help is genius. Like propaganda it is very one sided but it is positive and for a great cause. Images such as renewable water bottles and pollution in the sea touches us as an audience  and makes us want to change, in turn, changing the world in a large scale sense. This is essentially what politics and advertising does when they come together.
