cwbchicago.comAs Chicago’s mayoral race takes shape, social media influencers step in — including some paid by Brandon Johnson
>The campaign has so far only paid for posts from one creator, according to Perry — a drop in the overflowing bucket of online discourse about the mayor. Several other content creators sharing online support for Johnson told the Tribune they had not been paid, with some adding they’ve never even had contact with his team.
>Still, for all candidates, it’s a largely unregulated space that opens the door to overly fawning coverage, or even misinformation. Social media platforms do little to help viewers distinguish a campaign’s unpaid supporters from its paid contractors, and some politicians have turned to influencers to get their message out without facing the scrutiny and pesky questions provided by more traditional news outlets.
