Utilizing a questionnaire survey of 120 participants, the research explores three key areas: the influence of social media on political opinions and voting behaviors, its role in political polarization, and its effect on public perception of political candidates and parties. Findings reveal that social media significantly shapes political opinions, providing diverse perspectives and influencing voting decisions. However, it also contributes to political polarization, amplifying divisive opinions and creating echo chambers. Social media discourse has notably affected public perceptions of political candidates and parties, influencing electoral outcomes and political alignments. The study highlights the persistent impact of social media on political engagement and public sentiment post-election. Recommendations include implementing regulations to ensure transparency in social media campaigns, enhancing media literacy, and promoting constructive political discourse. Further research is suggested to explore the long-term effects of social media, the role of specific platforms, and the impact on various demographic groups. This study underscores the profound influence of social media on contemporary political dynamics in Nigeria. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Mass Communication project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of social media on students academic performance (a study of students of university of Abuja) »Impact of social media on modern journalism (a study of journalists in Makurdi metropolis) »Impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on radio news reporting (a study of Atlantic FM Uyo) »Perception of cyber crime among Nigerian youths (a study of Caritas university) »The effect of government ownership and control of mass media objectivity reporting (a case study of Enugu state broadcasting services) »Coverage of foreign news by Nigerian newspapers: A content analysis of vanguard and daily sun newspapers»The Effects of Television Commercials on Buying Habits of Enugu Metropolis ( A Case Study of Omo and Elephant Detergents )»Impact of mobile phone on agricultural information among Otukpo farmers»Audience perception of Nigerian newspapers on the internet»Influence of news censorship on the performance of media houses in Nigeria (a study of Nasarawa broadcasting service, Lafia) »Importance of indigenous language in broadcasting media»Influence of television advertising on consumer buying habits of Guinness stout in Ikeja community of Lagos state»Role of communication technology in improving work efficiency of AIT staff (a study of AIT Abuja) »Effect of public relations on the consumer (a case study of premier breweries plc) »The effect of AKBC tv peak milk advertisement on the consumers buying habit
