My Interviewees on Social Media

  1. Where:
    1. Braithwaite I was able to find on only Twitter and Facebook, which I confirmed with him during our interview were the only two he was on.
    2. Polakowski I found on absolutely nothing. Every search result turned back one random person under that name and it wasn't him. Not really surprising, he's pretty old school.
  2. Facebook did not provide much information, most of what eh posts on there is just with his wife and I felt creepy. Twitter however, he tends to retweet a lot  of stuff. he actually mentioned this during the interview too that he likes to retweet things so he can look back at them later. A lot of the things had to do with the presidential election, typical political scientist, and a lot had to do with world conflict.
  3. In the academic journal, Braithwaite definitely has a more professional tone and states mostly facts and hypotheses. On social media, he is more light-hearted, funny at times, and rather witty. His political views definitely come out more over social media.
