“At the very core of NDN’s understanding of the world is that a “new politics”
driven by enormous changes in demography, media and technology,
economics and geopolitics is being born in the United States and around the globe.”

8. START A CONVERSATION
Our Mission
PolitiSphere has a simple
purpose:
to provide young and
politically-minded
individuals with a source of
political news and a place
where they can engage in
meaningful conversation.

9. Who are these individuals?
• Men and Women
• Ages 18-30
• Income Level $0-$50 k
• Some College
• No Children

10. And our sponsor’s demographic…
is exactly the same.

11. But will it be useful?
The top three news-related media for college-aged students are websites:
Nytimes.com CNN.com wsj.com
And they’re frequent users of social media:
83% on Facebook 27% on Twitter 27% on Instagram

12. The possibilities are endless.

13. Because we’re different
1. Focus on fostering a political community. Provide an interactive space
for politically minded individuals to discuss current and future policies.
2. Partnerships with liberal think-tanks to push progressive content and
promote awareness to a younger audience of both national and
international politics.
3. Using links to other political sites and providing the means necessary
to subscribe to political print magazines and newspapers, allowing
members the means to educate themselves in order to create educated
and engaged discussions.

14. We offer the comfort and engagement of a social
network with the content of top news sites.
