“…23 However, local talk radio Twitter accounts rarely engage with audiences in two-way conversations. 24 The evidence is mixed when it comes to interactivity at local newspapers. Lauterer found that small weekly and daily papers tend to be closer to their readers, and engagement by readers can be high.…”

The body of literature addressing the phenomenon related to social networking services (SNSs) has grown rather fast recently. Through a systematic and quantitative approach, this study identifies the recent SNS research themes, which are the issues discussed by a coherent and growing subset of this literature. A set of academic articles retrieved from the Web of Science database is used as the basis for uncovering the recent themes. We begin the analysis by constructing a citation network which is further separated into groups after applying a widely used clustering method. The resulting clusters all consist of articles coherent in citation relationships. This study suggests eight fast growing recent themes. They span widely encompassing politics, romantic relationships, public relations, journalism, and health. Among them, four focus their issues largely on Twitter, three on Facebook, and one generally on both. While discussions on traditional issues in SNSs such as personality, motivations, self-disclosure, narcissism, etc. continue to lead the pack, the proliferation of the highlighted recent themes in the near future is very likely to happen.

“…Research indicates mixed results regarding the amount of engagement by journalists at different types and sizes of news media outlets. Local talk radio stations use their Twitter handle mostly as a means of one-way communication to provide information to the audience and links to the station’s own content (Herrera-Damas & Hermida, 2014). However, television journalists seem to be more interactive.…”

Comparing Interactivity on Twitter by Political Reporters at TV Networks, Online-Only News Websites, and Newspapers

Although the public regularly attempts to interact with reporters on Twitter, it is not clear to what extent reporters at various types of news outlets engage with citizens, politicians, and other users on the microblog. To find out, a content analysis was conducted on 4,500 tweets during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign from political reporters at TV networks/cable news, online-only news websites, and large newspapers. Findings indicate significant differences in Twitter interactivity by news outlet type, with TV political reporters most likely to interact with politicians and online-only political reporters most likely to interact with citizens. However, interactivity was generally low except with fellow journalists, which supports the normalization hypothesis.
