Politics in the digital world
Social media has become an integral part of election campaigning, but how does Senate candidates' messaging on these channels compare to broadcast media? In the latest special issue of Online Information Review on the theme of social networking and political participation, research reveals that the messaging is often similar, but Twitter has a unique role to play.
A further study in this special issue examines whether personal and interactive communication on Twitter increases political involvement among citizens through social presence and perceived expertise.
A study from Transforming Government: People, Process and Policy suggests that government officials need to treat social media as a channel for input and knowledge about the concerns of citizen groups as well as integrating it into the formal processes of decision making on policy issues.
