Politiker auf Snapchat vertreiben junge Wähler
(Politicians on Snapchat are driving young voters away)
Newspaper | 20 Minuten
Date | 5.7.2016
Language | German
Country | Switzerland
Topic Tags | politics, Snapchat, youth
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.

Jetzt ist es da, nun ist es weg
(Now it is here, now it is gone)
Newspaper | Tages-Anzeiger
Date | 4.5.2016
Language | German
Country | Switzerland
Topic Tags | Snapchat, social media, youth
Summary | 59% of 14 to 19-year olds use Snapchat (not specified whether in US/Switzerland/world-wide) while only 6% watch television daily. Snapchat is quickly catching up with Facebook in the amount of content created by users. While Snapchat has become famous for its function to send images with captions and drawings that self-destruct after a few seconds, many new formats are now available on Snapchat: users can create collage-like “Stories” of their recent snaps that stay on the platform for 24 hours. Corporations create high-quality digital content that they distribute through Snapchat’s ‘”Discover” function, and journalists document events in real time through “Live-Stories”.
