COM推出政治智能手机应用程序

还不确定下个月的总统选举中投谁的票？ 不清楚候选人在某个特定问题上的立场？ 寻找经过充分澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究的、公正的信息，让你表达自己的观点？ With less than five weeks to go until the 2016 presidential election, the 传媒学院 has come up with a new smartphone and tablet app, called INVOLVD, designed to reach millennial voters.

INVOLVD的座右铭是“民主不是一项观赏性的运动。” 为了吸引用户，这款应用包含了com策划的新闻报道，仔细审查总统候选人解决国家问题的想法。 用户投票决定他们是否相信该提案会成功，然后他们可以选择使用该应用程序来表达他们的意见。 Since 启动 this summer, more than 1,000 people have downloaded INVOLVD, which is available through the Apple and Android stores.

COM的院长托马斯·费德勒（71届COM）表示，他与波士顿当地的政治组织者汤姆·科斯格罗夫（Tom Cosgrove）就千禧一代选民如何看待这次选举进行了交谈，随后产生了这款应用程序的概念。 The 纽约时报 报道 last week that “younger voters are shunning the two major political parties on a scale not seen since Ross Perot’s third-party bid for the presidency in 1992,” with many saying they may not vote at all.
