In this article, Berridge focuses on the changes Twitter has introduced in pushing for social and political changes in the contemporary world. The author achieves this objective by comparing two similar events that happened in the same country but in different technological ages. Berridge the event of Sudan railway workers staging a protest back in 1985 against the rise of basic food prices during President Nimeiri's regime. As the author asserts, these protests did not use the current social media technology and took two and a half weeks before achieving the objective of toppling the regime in power. A similar situation arose in December 2018 and only took less than three days before the protest was popularized to the extent of prompting government response. This article is valuable to my research as I intend to explore the theme of urgency in communicating social change messages through social medial. The article will play a significant role in exploring the cultural shift of mass protests introduced by Twitter and other social media sites. I will use the article to evaluate whether the ease of access of the platform contributes to the urgency by which social change communication is done online.

The authors of this article are highly qualified in the field of modern communications. For instance, Brannen is a senior officer on an international security program. The article is about the rising number of mass protests around the globe. Brannen, Samuel, Christian Haig, and Katherine Schmidt observe that mass protests have increased by an annual average rate of 11.5%. This increase was recorded during the years between 2009 and 2019. The authors assert that most of these mass protests are witnessed in North Africa and the Middle East regions. Interestingly the article predicts that these protests are not likely to decrease any time soon. Instead, they are projected to continue rising. Twitter is among the aspects attributed to this rise of protests around the world. The article points out that Twitter has provided a platform where anyone with internet access can air their views and easily mobilize with like-minded individuals. The authors go above evaluating the causes of an increase of mass protests to the consequences of the protests. The article attests to consequences such as regime change and organized political violence. The article also offers a future perspective of a scenario where factors such as disinformation and slow economic growth are likely to continue fueling mass protests.
