Sample Solution

Website/Social Media Campaign: Universal Basic Income (UBI)

Social Problem:

From my previous course discussion, I will focus on Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a potential solution to economic inequality and a changing job market.

Media Approach:

A combination of website and social media channels would be most effective.

• Website: A central hub for in-depth information, research, and resources.
• Social Media: A dynamic platform for raising awareness, sparking discussions, and mobilizing supporters.

Targeted Audience:

• General Public: To raise broad awareness about UBI and its potential benefits.
• Policymakers: To educate them about UBI as a viable policy option.
• Advocacy Groups: To connect with existing organizations working on similar issues and foster collaboration.

Website Content:

• Clear and concise explanation of UBI: What it is, how it would work, and potential benefits (poverty reduction, economic security, stimulating innovation).
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Address common concerns and misconceptions about UBI.
• Research and Data: Present credible data and research findings on UBI pilot programs and feasibility studies.
• Impact Stories: Share personal stories from individuals who could benefit from UBI.

Social Media Strategy:

• Platforms: Utilize a mix of platforms like Twitter (engagement with policymakers and journalists), Instagram (compelling visuals and infographics), and Facebook (community building and event promotion).
• Content:
  • Regularly post informative and engaging content (articles, videos, infographics) about UBI.
  • Highlight success stories from UBI pilot programs around the world.
  • Host live Q&A sessions with UBI experts.
  • Organize online petitions and advocacy campaigns.
  • Utilize relevant hashtags to increase discoverability.

Examples:

• Website: The Basic Income Guarantee Network (https://usbig.net/) provides a wealth of information on UBI.
• Social Media: The Stanford Basic Income Lab (https://basicincome.stanford.edu/) utilizes Twitter and Facebook to share research and engage with the public on UBI.

Educating Viewers on Advocacy:

• Call to Action: Clearly state how viewers can get involved (signing petitions, contacting representatives, volunteering).
• Resource Page: Provide links to relevant organizations, advocacy toolkits, and educational materials.
• "Get Involved" Section: Showcase upcoming events, webinars, and opportunities for local activism.

Evaluation:

• Track website traffic and social media engagement metrics.
• Conduct surveys to gauge audience knowledge and sentiment towards UBI.
• Monitor online conversations and media coverage.

By implementing this multi-pronged approach, the website and social media campaign can effectively raise awareness of UBI, educate the public, and inspire action towards this potential policy solution.
