Every time a new media platform comes along, politicians work to master it. 

In a bid to win over younger voters, both US presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have made a series of unorthodox campaign stops in the final stretch of the 2024 White House race: podcasts.

So, how impactful are podcasts compared with other forms of communication? And do these newer modes of media allow voters to peel the external layers off politicians to better understand them as a person?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Lea Redfern, Lecturer, Discipline of Media and Communications, University of Sydney and Andy Whitehouse, Senior Partner & Managing Partner at Penta Group, and Assistant Professor teaching political communications at Columbia University share their perspectives.

With high stakes in the upcoming general election in 2025, Singapore risks ending up with a much weaker government if there is a modest swing in popular votes against the ruling party.

Speaking at the party conference over the weekend, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong says that the People’s Action Party can no longer 'afford to stay in the background'. To that end, he stressed that the party has to come out to explain policies and mobilise citizens for the causes that PAP believes in, and to engage Singaporeans on the issues they care about, and importantly, to show them why they can trust and depend on the PAP to provide the leadership for Singapore.

On Part Two of this episode of Morning Shot, Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law, Yong Pung How School of Law, Singapore Management University, and Dr Mustafa Izzudin, Senior International Affairs Analyst, Solaris Strategies Singapore share their insights.
