Learner Response (re-write developed paragraph): 

The development of social media has allowed audiences to voice their opinions openly. through the use of social media, e.g. twitter, the audiences tweet their opinions on things going on around the world. An example of this would be the topic regarding the UK leaving the EU. Many members of the audience expressed their views on the issue and could do this easily due to the development of social media.Additionally, the audience are also empowered due to the fact that they can be themselves through the use of social media. For example, many people have been able to accept their true identities by coming out as gay or more recently as transgender. This has been able to happen due to the development of new/digital media.
