Summary | Jeremy Corbyn has been using Snapchat for his campaign, but so far he's mostly been using the same old campaign trail images. In order to win the young vote, he could be doing a lot more. Also, Snapchat shouldn't be used for formality.

Summary | Digital communication has the same status/value as fashion or music among youth, experts say. Politicians are increasingly moving to Snapchat to reach young voters. Some people think it is smart of politicians to use trending new media but experts say that adults cannot successfully participate on Snapchat because young people have particular communication codes. They use memes and allusions to pop culture tropes to create simple humorous content which outsiders, i.e. adults, do not understand.
