NYC Mayor Mamdani is the son of a filmmaker, so it wasn’t surprising he used short videos in his campaign to introduce himself and his ideas. He has kept it up as mayor, making videos about city services that might have once been a website page or a press release. Do people like seeing the mayor explain things? Yes. Will it help him govern? We shall see. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/nyregion/mamdani-social-media.html #mayors
