In the article, Professor Fuchs told Newsweek that he thinks Biden’s approach will allow him to gain attention without resorting to Trump’s approach to social media. He said: “Trump works with sensationalism, Biden with political ideas…In contrast to Trump, Biden will grab headlines with policy ideas instead of sensationalism.

“He and other non-populist politicians can redefine the way social media works away from superficiality, tabloidization and sensationalism towards policy ideas, debates and arguments.”
