“…They are more often approached by users with large formal and informal group memberships and tend to engage with these "elite" users more as well (Barnidge et al 2020). Moreover, studies show again and again that journalists have more meaningful engagement with other journalists or to some extent "elite" Twitter users, which might limit their insight into other social realities (Ausserhofer and Maireder 2013;Molyneux and Mourão 2019;Olausson 2018;Parmelee et al 2019).…”

“…Thus, in contrast to common assumptions, engagement on social media rarely results in conversations with the audience, especially when journalists aim to broaden their reach: followers' voices are less important, and popularity on Twitter is shaped by retweeting and following only a few selected accounts (Parmelee et al 2019;Simon 2019). Twitter's form of relationship is by default one-directional, and a follower does not necessarily need to be followed back or react when being mentioned in another user's tweet.…”

“…Moreover, social media benefit the ones that are already visible, in a mode of "getting the rich richer" (Simon 2019). Studies investigating journalistic networks on Twitter have found that the platform perpetuates existing networks and hierarchies, indicated through homophily where dominant, mostly male, journalistic users with high symbolic capital tend to amplify and engage more with colleagues of similar symbolic status, which legitimizes their authority and dominance in the public sphere (Fincham 2019;Hanusch and N€ olleke 2019;Parmelee et al 2019;Usher, Holcomb, and Littman 2018). Hanusch and N€ olleke (2019) highlight that this might have negative implications for diverse and credible news as homophilous networks with very similar group members can lead to uncritical consensus, groupthink, and pack journalism (Matusitz and Breen 2012).…”

Showing off Your Social Capital: Homophily of Professional Reputation and Gender in Journalistic Networks on Twitter

Social media like Twitter have become critical tools for public discourse and journalistic practice as they are assumed to enable equal conversations and engagement between different societal actors. However, recent studies have found that Twitter reproduces existing networks and hierarchies, indicated through homophily where dominant journalistic users with high symbolic capital tend to amplify and engage more with colleagues of similar symbolic status, which legitimizes their authority and dominance in the public sphere. Still, an in-depth understanding of how this manifests and might be rectified is lacking. To fill this gap, we explore the tweeting behaviour of 356 journalists in Austria, as social capital and personal networks are especially relevant to be recognized by peers. Our findings show strong homophilous tweeting behaviour for those with high professional reputation and for men. New entrants aim more towards gaining visibility in these tight-knit groups.

“…That is, the gender asymmetry that is already present among journalists in offline settings is amplified in online networks and interactions. In some ways, female journalists are taking steps to push against the difficult situations they encounter on social media (Ferrier & Garud-Patkar, 2018), but studies also have found few behavioral differences between men and women journalists on Twitter (Lasorsa, 2012;Parmelee et al, 2017). Where differences are found, these differences are not assumed to be "hardwired" (Fine, 2010) but rather due to socialization both within and without the newsroom (Rodgers & Thorson, 2003).…”

As the field of journalism becomes increasingly unrecognizable, the messages that identify the journalist, their work, and their affiliations are of increasing importance. This study envisions journalism and social media both as gendered spaces and examines their intersection as the setting of much of journalists’ branding work. In this setting, gender’s influence on the extent, style, and target of journalists’ branding efforts is examined using data from two different datasets (content analysis and survey). The findings suggest that female journalists take a more personalized approach by speaking about themselves in their profiles and their tweets and focusing more resources and attention on their individual brands. This suggests that female journalists are not well served by male-dominated news organizations and therefore turn to a more personalized self-image in their branding efforts. This understanding is particularly important as societies and newsrooms both work toward a more inclusive, egalitarian future.

“…Pada penelitian ini kata-kata yang dihitung adalah kata-kata umpatan yang diperoleh dari media sosial Twitter berkaitan dengan Pilkada Sumut. Model analisis ini sudah dibuktikan mampu memberikan gambaran perbedaan gender di Twitter (Parmelee, Roman, Beasley & Perkins, 2019) dan tepat untuk mengklasifikasikan komentar di Twitter (Williams, Terras & Walwick, 2013).…”

Di dalam pandangan tradisional, perempuan distigmatisasi menjadi lemah lembut dan anggun. Oleh karena itu, sangat jarang kita melihat perempuan mengatakan kata kasar di ruang publik karena tabu bagi mereka. Media sosial menyediakan ruang virtual bagi orang untuk berinteraksi tanpa batas yang jelas. Orang-orang di Internet (netizen) dapat mengatakan hampir semuanya di media sosial tanpa memikirkan dampak negatif pada apa yang mereka katakan. Beberapa netizen melewati batas kesusilaan dengan mengucapkan kata kasar kepada netizen lain tanpa berpikir yang mungkin menyakiti seseorang. Studi terbaru menunjukkan bahwa kata-kata kasar dapat menyebabkan cyberbully yang pada akhirnya akan mengarah ke bunuh diri. Dengan demikian menggunakan kata kasar di media sosial mungkin memiliki dampak yang sama dengan menggunakannya dalam kehidupan nyata. Kemajuan media sosial telah menyebabkan penggunaannya dalam politik praktis. Kandidat politik menggunakan media sosial untuk mempromosikan profil mereka dan akhirnya mendapatkan pemilih. Sayangnya tidak semua dari mereka yang memposting komentar di media sosial beretika, termasuk perempuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pemanfaatan Twitter dalam mengeluarkan kata umpatan berdasarkan perbedaan gender dalam pemilihan gubernur. Penelitian ini akan menganalisis Twitter sebagai platform media sosial paling umum yang digunakan dalam politik. Sebagai contoh, penelitian ini menangkap 5000 tweet dari pemilihan pilkada Sumatera Utara 2018 di Indonesia. Teknik statistik deskriptif digunakan dalam menganalisis data.
