Inclusiveness and diversity are the keys to social media. “A platform designed to involve stakeholders around issues must be able to be used by and represent all people”(Clark, 2011). The advantage of it is that it can establish contact and dialogue with people who have the same goal all over the country. Community news is often the best place to get news, and everyone will share their news and the progress of their efforts. Just like what markiel said, on Twitter, there are many politicians. They should not only publish their views on the party, but also interact with grassroots people and listen to the voice of the community to build their own political capital. If there is no public communication in the community, you will not know other people’s problems, and if you can’t participate, you will not be able to solve other people’s problems. Because the public is usually made up of people who don’t talk with people who leave their comfort zone facing common problems. Promoting public communication is to solve the problem of inequality and inexperienced people. The community communication we participate in is to build a foundation to help others.

We also cannot guarantee that every piece of information posted has an equal positioning, because our audience or audience population will change. So we can only change the way, use different labels or call-to-action to standardize some information. Use specific information to target specific audience groups. Use our own experience and accumulation to publish different content to different audiences. Or listen to the content posted by different people, absorb more news sources, and adjust the content posted by ourselves.
