"New media also presents politicians of all persuasions with a chance to talk more directly to the public than ever before." (Paul Evans, Telegraph.co.uk)

Politicopia promotes better politics and better government, through use of social media tools, such as email, blogs, Facebook, and Twitter.

Social media tools provide elected officials immediate access to constituents’ input, opinions, and attention. These tools allow elected officials to humanize themselves and to instantly get out their message.

Use of social media tools is now essential for elected leaders.  In many ways, the town square has moved online.  Fortunately, these tools are easy to use.  With the support of partners dedicated to better government, Politicopia trains elected officials to use social media tools effectively.
