“Influencers” (also known as “creators”), or regular people with large social media followings, hold significant power in the information age. As the term suggests, their posts can influence their followers’ thoughts, spending habits, and even their votes.   

Political influencers play an active role in shaping our elections and democracy. But not all influencer posts are reliable or accurate. Therefore, knowing which influencers you can count on as trusted messengers is essential.
