The ECHO Archive
Released Friday mornings, The ECHO is a continuation of our research into the use of social media in politics. It features analysis on which officials, issues, and key Congressional races are gaining or losing traction on Twitter. Our archive of previous ECHO reports is here. For more information on The ECHO contact GSPM Political Management Program Director Michael Cohen.
The ECHO Quarterly Report

This report also shares one key social media takeaway for incumbent politicians running for reelection. Read the full report here.
