“…De hecho, se alcanzan picos de actividad en eventos que permiten compartir imágenes o vídeos, en casos de escándalos y en situaciones que favorecen la personalización (Jungherr y Jürgens, 2014). Esta última es un recurso muy útil que los partidos emplean para atraer la atención de más usuarios a través de esta plataforma (Adam y Maier, 2010;Rahat y Sheafer, 2007). De esta forma, optan por personalizar su comunicación en Twitter, centrándose en la vida privada de los candidatos, en sus emociones y sentimientos y en sus competencias profesionales (Kruikemeier, 2014).…”

The use of Twitter as strategic tool for political communication has increased considerably in recent years, particularly during electoral campaigns. The main goal of this paper is to examine the degree of compliance with the principles of dialogue attributed to social media. To achieve this, a quantitative content analysis was carried out on the tweets shared by the main Spanish political parties during the 2015 General Elections. The results show that although a high number of tweets were made by the four political parties during this period, none of them took advantage of the full potential of dialogue on Twitter.

“…The personalization of politics focuses the discourse on individuals rather than parties (Rahat;Sheafer, 2007). This promotes the candidate's attributes and downplays the importance of ideologies as a differentiating factor between parties, which reduces politics to a clash of personalities (Sánchez-Murillo, 2005).…”

“…News coverage during EP election campaigns has become more comprehensive in recent years (Boomgaarden & De Vreese, 2016;De Vreese, Banducci, Semetko, & Boomgaarden, 2006;Schuck, Xezonakis, Elenbaas, Banducci, & De Vreese, 2011) and the EP as well as individual members (MEPs) receive regular broadsheet coverage during non-election times (Gattermann, 2013;Gattermann & Vasilopoulou, 2015). Furthermore, research on the personalization of politics suggests that individual politicians (e.g., Langer, 2007;Rahat & Sheafer, 2007) and leaders in particular (e.g., Boumans, Boomgaarden, & Vliegenthart, 2013) receive increasingly more news attention at the ex- Put, Van Hecke, Cunningham, & Wolfs, 2016). pense of political parties and institutions.…”

The 2014 European Parliament (EP) elections were characterised by a novel element in European Union (EU) politics. For the first time, the major European party families put forward top candidates for President of the European Commission, the so-called Spitzenkandidaten. This paper tests whether this innovation had the potential to-at least partiallyalleviate the alleged accountability deficit. We rely on original survey data to assess citizens' preferences for each of the main Spitzenkandidaten: Jean-Claude Juncker, Martin Schulz, and Guy Verhofstadt. Our research is guided by three questions: what explains whether citizens formulate a preference for a certain Spitzenkandidat? Which factors are responsible for variations in such preferences? And, are these explanations moderated by citizens' political awareness? We show that three factors enable citizens to formulate a preference for the Spitzenkandidaten: news exposure, general EU political information, and campaign-specific information about the Spitzenkandidaten. Furthermore, we demonstrate that only the most knowledgeable citizens are able to use party cues in their evaluations of the Spitzenkandidaten. The implications of our findings are discussed with reference to the EU's democratic deficit debate.
