Selfie requests shift focus of election campaigns
New York
"PRESS that white button! This right here," the former US secretary of state instructed a technologically deficient fan in New Hampshire who was fumbling to work an iPhone camera. Her patience thinning, Hillary Rodham Clinton took matters into her own hands and jabbed the button herself. And with the sound of an electronic shutter snap, another selfie - the must-have political souvenir of 2016 - went up into the cloud for campaign posterity.
Who wants their babies kissed or their yard signs autographed anymore? This is the Selfie Election. And if you are running for president, you have no choice but to submit.
