Hey everyone my name is Wyatt and I’m excited about interacting with you all over the semester. I grew up here in Alaska specifically Kenai so I like to think I know a little about the state. This is my third year at a university, but only my first here at UAF I transferred from Western Colorado University. I took the class because the presidency has been interesting to me because of the discussion it brings about. It isn’t always productive but it is fascinating seeing how invested people can be for whomever they believe can win. I want to learn more about how media control can shape a presidency regardless of the actual policies that may be in place. I guess my burning question is how does a president create positive media in a free-speech social media era?
