Will the leader’s election debates engage first time voters? – Journalism.co.uk Editors’ Blog

    Will the leader’s election debates engage first time voters? – Journalism.co.uk Editors’ Blog

    Elizabeth Davies' experience of watching the first TV debate online:

    "I was not glued to my television, but only because I don’t have one. Like a significant fraction of the population – a fraction dominated by young first-time voters like myself – I chose to watch the debate online. Unfortunately the quality of ITV’s live stream made it difficult to remain captivated for long. It’s one thing to engage with social media to encourage meaningful online discussion, but quite another to slap so many cursory widgets on the page that no-one is able to load anything."
