“…Twitter's role in political communication in different parts of the world, especially around elections and campaigning, has increasingly been studied in recent years (Weller et al, 2014). Such studies have generally examined the use of Twitter as a communication channel for social protests (Penney and Dadas, 2014), political election campaigns (Enli, 2017;Heo et al, 2016;Jungherr, 2016;Jungherr et al, 2015;Kim et al, 2016;McGregor, 2018;Ott, 2017;Park et al, 2016), and revolutionary movements during political upheavals (Lotan et al, 2011). In these contexts, Twitter has been used either by politicians (parties and candidates) as a platform for self-representation, or by citizens or ''Twitter publics'' (Jungherr, 2016), as a communication tool for arranging social and political movements (Anstead and Chadwick, 2018;Ceron, 2017;Engesser et al, 2017).…”

“…They also demonstrate that the landscape of Korean Twitter during televised debates favored the opposition candidate. In a similar study, Kim et al (2016) discuss the role of Twitter in a hybrid media system in the context of elections. They discuss how Twitter was used for direct interaction among users of social media and the listeners of a popular political podcast.…”

Mapping the political landscape of Persian Twitter: The case of 2013 presidential election

The fallacy of premature designations such as “Iran's Twitter Revolution” can be attributed to the empirical gap in our knowledge about such sociotechnical phenomena in non-Western societies. To fill this gap, we need in-depth analyses of social media use in those contexts and to create detailed maps of online public environments in such societies. This paper aims to present such cartography of the political landscape of Persian Twitter by studying the case of Iran's 2013 presidential election. The objective of this study is twofold: first, to fill the empirical gap in our knowledge about Twitter use in Iran, and second, to develop computational methods for studying Persian Twitter (e.g., effective methods for analyzing Persian text) and identify the best methods for addressing different issues (e.g., topic detection and sentiment analysis). During Iran's 2013 presidential election, three million tweets were collected and analyzed using social network analysis and machine learning. The findings provide a more nuanced view of the political landscape of Persian Twitter and identify patterns in accordance with or in contrast to those identified in the English-speaking Twittersphere around the 2013 presidential election. Persian Twitter was dominated by micro-celebrities, whereas institutional elites dominated English discourse about Iran on Twitter. The results also illustrate that Persian Twitter in 2013 was predominantly in favor of reformists. Finally, this study demonstrates that sentiment analysis toward political name entities can be used efficiently for mapping the political landscape of conversation on Twitter.

“…This indicates the influence of a participant in the online social network [ 18 ]. Some researchers have also used ‘in-degree’ to identify hubs in the online discussion network [ 39 ]. Empirical results show that degree centrality is the most effective indicator of the structural importance of a participant in the social network [ 40 ].…”

Variations in power of opinion leaders in online communication networks

Online social media has completely transformed how we communicate with each other. While online discussion platforms are available in the form of applications and websites, an emergent outcome of this transformation is the phenomenon of ‘opinion leaders’. A number of previous studies have been presented to identify opinion leaders in online discussion networks. In particular, Feng (2016 Comput. Hum. Behav. 54, 43–53. (doi:10.1016/j.chb.2015.07.05210.1016/j.chb.2015.07.052)) has identified five different types of central users besides outlining their communication patterns in an online communication network. However, the presented work focuses on a limited time span. The question remains as to whether similar communication patterns exist that will stand the test of time over longer periods. Here, we present a critical analysis of the Feng framework both for short-term as well as for longer periods. Additionally, for validation, we take another case study presented by Udanor et al. (2016 Program 50, 481–507. (doi:10.1108/PROG-02-2016-001110.1108/PROG-02-2016-0011)) to further understand these dynamics. Results indicate that not all Feng-based central users may be identifiable in the longer term. Conversation starter and influencers were noted as opinion leaders in the network. These users play an important role as information sources in long-term discussions. Whereas network builder and active engager help in connecting otherwise sparse communities. Furthermore, we discuss the changing positions of opinion leaders and their power to keep isolates interested in an online discussion network.

“…Second screening for news affords users the ability to publicly criticize mass media and political elites (D’heer & Verdegem, 2015; Freelon & Karpf, 2015; Pond, 2016). To a certain extent, news organizations and political elites respond to this criticism by reshaping their content or talking points (Anstead & O’Loughlin, 2011, 2015; Chadwick, Dennis, & Smith, 2016), even though second screeners represent a vocal minority (Bentivegna & Marchetti, 2015) who generally respond to mass media content (Kim, Lee, & Park, 2016; Vergeer & Franses, 2016; Wells et al, 2016). Thus, scholars have described second screening for news as a complex interplay between media industries and audiences (Barry & Doherty, 2017; Moe, Poell, & van Dijck, 2016), and this interplay implies that second screening behaviors may be especially meaningful in terms of the influence those behaviors have on media and political organizations or institutions.…”

Second screening is a relatively new set of media practices that arguably empower audiences to shape public narratives alongside news organizations and political elites. But in developing countries such as Colombia, it is important to examine who participates in this process, as substantial inequalities in both access to and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) persist. This study examines how socioeconomic status (SES) relates to the adoption of second screening practices in Colombia, a country in which the technological access and literacy necessary to engage in these practices are becoming widespread but are not yet ubiquitous. Based on a random sample of face-to-face interviews, results show evidence of persistent digital divides in Colombia in terms of ICT access, ICT use, and second screening for news. Additionally, results indicate that the relationship between SES and second screening for news is indirect, mediated through technological access and public affairs engagement.
