Answer:
The influence of Media and Information over elections, politics and, governance.
Explanation:
Once we used to have politicians travel to interact with citizens and meet them face to face. That is slowly fading away in place of townhalls that take place online.
Video conferencing, video calls, social media apps, and technology now make it easy to connect with a lot of people at once, across various timezones, without changing location.
Once upon a time, the Television media, Radio Media, Cable Television (all categorized as traditional media) used to be the custodian of information, hence, the chief influencers of politics and governance.
Today, the internet has made it possible for individuals or a group of people without much tech-spend to set up and garner a following that has enough power to influence governance.
Online petitions and Wikileaks, the proliferation of terrorist organizations that have strong information and technology as well as social media skills have modified forever, the way public office holders and other stakeholders involved used to look at governance.
