“…Although there is some evidence of Twitter being used to include alternative voices as Paulussen and Harder (2014) suggest, relatively little is made of Twitter as a site where a non-public figure may be heard: the numbers of articles where a quotation from a named non-public figure is featured are Daily Mail 58; The Guardian 37; and The Sun 93. As Wallsten (2015) found, elite voices tend to dominate. Where the public are portrayed within stories about Twitter within The Sun and Daily Mail, they often feature as fans or followers of a public figure with a relatively passive role in terms of setting the agenda.…”

“…Paulussen and Harder (2014) suggest, however, that the majority of direct quotes from social media users come from well-known figures. Along similar lines, according to Wallsten's (2015) analysis of coverage of the 2012 US election, journalists have a tendency to cite tweets from elite sources. Broersma and Graham (2012) found that tweets were used as news sources in different ways by quality papers and popular press, and in different ways by Dutch and UK newspapers, albeit across a relatively narrow time frame and only focused on election news.…”

The Evolution and Diversification of Twitter as a Cultural Artefact in the British Press 2007–2014

There are enduring inequalities in usage of social media, relating both to the demographic patterning of users and to differences in the kinds of use people make of these platforms. This paper presents a content analysis of representations of Twitter in three British newspapers from 2007 to 2014 aimed at exploring the potential contribution that differing journalistic practices make to sustaining the inequalities in uptake and use of social media platforms. The newspapers were selected for the contrasting composition of their readership, allowing for comparison of the portrayals of Twitter to distinct socio-demographic groups. The portrayal of Twitter was found to differ between the three newspapers analysed, with the readers of the tabloid and midrange newspaper being presented a depiction of Twitter as a site for elite and celebrity voices and for fandom rather than a site for their own active participation or political content creation, to a greater extent than the readers of the quality paper. These results suggest that the journalistic practices distinctive to these diverse newspapers may have significant implications for the extent to which their readership are encouraged to see themselves as able to have a voice on social media: the tabloid style risks depoliticising Twitter.

“…The three specific years examined (1994, 2004, and 2014) include the periods before and after South Korea's economic crisis when financial pressure on newspaper companies became more severe after the 1997 foreign exchange crisis (Korea Press Foundation, 2014; J. Lee, 2013). Ten-year intervals were selected based on previous studies that examined economic news coverage and focused on the sequential changes of the time intervals (Baden & Springer, 2014;Choi et al, 2011;Kjaer & Langer, 2005;Wallsten, 2015). For sampling, 4 months (February, May, August, and November) for each year were chosen with one randomly selected week (from Monday through Friday) for each month.…”

Public Voices Muted in Economic News: A Content Analysis of Public and Elite Sources in South Korean Newspapers

This study explores the extent to which public and elite sources are used in economic news. A content analysis of the economic coverage of three major South Korean national newspapers published between 1994 and 2014 found that elite sources were more prominent in South Korean economic news. More important, although public sources increased slightly in the economic news over three time periods (1994, 2004, and 2014) within a period of 20 years, they were still less common than elite sources in daily life–oriented economic news. This study suggests that the lack of coverage that cites public sources may not reflect the interests and perspectives of the general public (the nonelites).

Non-Elite Twitter Sources Rarely Cited in Coverage

Abstract: This study analyzes how Twitter was used in the 2012 election coverage in four large circulation U.S. newspapers and AP stories. About 5 percent of the 5,000 election articles cited Twitter. Government officials, politicians and media professionals posted more than half the tweets.
