prioritize assessing whether it resonates with the interests and concerns of young
voters.
• If a person evaluates the effectiveness of a virtual rally hosted by a politician
during a pandemic, the most important factor to consider is the level of voter
engagement through questions and interactions.
• If a person evaluates a social media post claiming election results before official
announcements, they should assess its reliability by verifying the source and
cross-checking with official election bodies.
• If a person reviews the use of media in promoting local tourism, an indicator of
the campaign’s success is the increase in tourist engagement and visits to
promoted destinations.
