Noted: UW-Madison professor Robert Howard says Trump’s use of Twitter, in particular, may be opening the door for elected leaders to engage with the public in a manner similar to what celebrities have done for years. Howard is a professor of Communication Arts and director of Digital Studies and DesignLab at UW-Madison. He says politicians are adjusting to the new communication medium and so are the people who read the messages and try to interpret their meaning.
