The Obama Pic That Made Social Media History
The Obama Pic That Made Social Media History
It was a picture that was worth 1,000 words - a photograph of Michelle and Barack Obama, his face etched with emotion, hugging.
The caption read: “Four more years.”
As the four years became a reality for the Obamas in the US elections this week, that photograph made social media history.
It was the photograph that President Obama posted on Twitter and Facebook pages just as TV networks announced his victory.
“Four more years,” his campaign team tweeted and his photo message became the most tweeted and the most liked on Facebook ever, beating the record previously set by teenage singer Justin Bieber.
The woman who took the photograph was Scout Tufankjian - a photojournalist who has travelled the world to cover breaking news.
But she took the first steps towards a career as a professional photojournalist on the streets of Northern Ireland.
