The media has less of an influence on the results of an election back here at home because the "politicking", "government policies" and party track records dominates a voter's decision. 

In countries like the UK and the US however, the media is able to critically assess political campaigns from the context of ideologies (e.g. liberal leftist, conservative right). Hence, even if an incumbent party underperforms, the media depending on its ideological allegiance,  is still able to rally behind the overall ideology of a party's political campaign, to defend the said party's policies and convince voters to give that party another 5 years time to continue executing the long term plans they have for their constituencies and the country. 

Back here in Malaysia, the focus on ideological analysis is given less emphasis by columnists, journalists and editors alike. ]]> 2017-05-09 03:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ilma_rofini77/vrrgkcd5x2zx/wish/170662249 https://padlet.com/ilma_rofini77/vrrgkcd5x2zx/wish/170662297 Media plays a big role in election in Malaysia, especially when the competing parties wants to run for election. For example, during the near election period, there are banners of political figures and parties put up in certain areas. What's more you can also see political figures sharing their ideology on television saying what they will do if they become the ruling party. Another example of how important media is when it comes to election is during Obama's campaign. When Obama was running his presidency campaign social media was one of his tools to reach out to the public. Not to mention, a political figure who utilizes social media allows the public to have a more casual form of communication.]]> 2017-05-09 03:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ilma_rofini77/vrrgkcd5x2zx/wish/170662297 https://padlet.com/ilma_rofini77/vrrgkcd5x2zx/wish/170662406 Media do the reporting of current status of the political parties, promoting propaganda (1 Malaysia) and spreading information in support of a cause. Media plays a role to shape how we interpret and observe political information, such as election issues and other political events. ]]> 2017-05-09 03:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ilma_rofini77/vrrgkcd5x2zx/wish/170662406
