“…We assume that in a complex, multi-faceted media environment characterized by multi-directional information flows (Chadwick, 2017), primary gatekeeping by journalists, and secondary gatekeeping by users (Singer, 2014) research should pay attention to the ways in which individuals enrol specific types of news content as they seek to exercise political agency in the everyday spaces of social media. This perspective builds on Chadwick's (2017) view of media content as resources for intervening in the political information cycles of the hybrid media system, Couldry's (2012) treatment of how digital media are unique in the intensity with which they are implicated in everyday social practice, Bennett and Iyengar's (2008) call for a post-mass communication paradigm for understanding media effects, Shah et al's (2005) finding that there is a link between individuals' traditional media consumption patterns and their propensity to become politically engaged online, and, finally, Edgerly et al's (2016) recent work on how individuals appropriate existing media resources when they craft acts of political expression on Facebook.…”

“…We used Salesforce's Social Studio social listening platform to download all tweets in the study period from known IRA accounts (for API information see: Introducing Social Studio REST API, n.d.). Variants of this software have been used to examine social media content in political dialogue (Edgerly, Thorson, Bighash, & Hannah, 2016), crisis events (Black, Dietz, Stirratt, & Coster, 2015), and educational settings (Linvill, Boatwright, & Grant, 2018).…”

“…Content typologies are important to the study of political communication, and for many years the broad categories and subcategories of political news and information have remained widely accepted by researchers, though of course there is debate over how transportable such traditional categories are to new media political communication (Earl, Martin, McCarthy, & Soule, 2004;Edgerly, Thorson, Bighash, & Hannah, 2016;Freelon & Karpf, 2015;Karlsson & Sjøvaag, 2016). Recent debates about the impact of junk news on the media ecosystem have forced researchers to re-evaluate the new forms, production models, and normative values of political news and information shared on social media (Jr, Lim, & Ling, 2018).…”
