“…Distintos autores señalan la importancia de Facebook y Twitter como herramientas electorales y canales que acogen diversas prácticas de comunicación política, debido al número extensivo de ciudadanos que las usan con regularidad (Kreiss, 2012;Nielsen & Vaccari, 2013;Larsson & Kalsnes, 2014;Yung et al, 2014 Este uso intensivo de Facebook ofrece nuevas oportunidades para la participación política (Lilleker & Jackson, 2010;Kruikemeier et al, 2014;Warren et al, 2014;Boulianne, 2015). Aunque Facebook atraiga básicamente a los usuarios por razones de entretenimiento o sociabilidad, este tipo de uso puede fácilmente conducir a otras actividades relacionadas con los asuntos públicos.…”

“…Existe abundante literatura científica que ha analizado las características de las interacciones comunicativas espontáneas en Internet (ver, por ejemplo, Wilhelm, 1998;Jensen, 2003;Graham, 2009;Ellison et al, 2010;Warren et al, 2014). Este interés en la esfera pública digital se explica por la relevancia que atribuyen los teóricos políticos a la conversación política informal para la democracia.…”

La investigación sobre la conversación política online ha estado muy influenciada por la teoría deliberativa, como resultado del optimismo depositado originalmente en Internet para revolucionar la política. Sin embargo, dos décadas de investigación empírica señalan que estas interacciones comunicativas informales difícilmente se parecen a los ideales deliberativos. En este estudio exploramos si internautas de Facebook que comparten posturas ideológicas presentan una mayor probabilidad de a) justificar sus puntos de vista y b) interactuar entre ellos. Aplicamos el análisis de contenido a una muestra de 2.800 comentarios publicados en los muros de los cuatro principales partidos españoles durante las Elecciones Generales de 2015. Los resultados muestran que la homofilia se relaciona negativamente con la argumentación y la interacción comunicativa. Es el electorado de otras organizaciones quien con más probabilidad razona sus opiniones, mientras que aquellos con puntos de vista neutros son más proclives a la interacción.

“…Steinfield et al (2008) broadly describe social capital as the benefits one receives from social relationships. Warren, Sulaiman, and Jaafar (2015) describe users of SNSs with a high number of online friends as perceived to have more social capital than a person with fewer friends.…”

INTRODUCTION:The rise of social media has been associated with rapid growth in different forms of digital networking, debate and activism. Many studies have traced the role of social media in mobilising people to take action on shared issues of concern across the world. Yet, while networked public spaces offer many possibilities for professional engagement and interaction, the technology also shapes social dynamics, raising questions over professional boundaries and the nature of online behaviour. METHODS:The development of a closed professional group on the social networking site, Facebook, provided an ideal opportunity to explore social workers' perceptions of participatory public space for professional deliberation and debate about public issues. Using a smallscale, case-study approach, group members were invited to complete an online survey and to participate in an interview which explored participants' motivation for joining the group, the frequency and nature of their contributions, how it felt to be a member and what they valued or found problematic about the group. FINDINGS:Those group members benefitted from the resources, research and professional development opportunities afforded to them and supported the professional potential and promise of social networking sites. They grappled with what constitutes ethical online behaviour and identified the site's limitations and strengths as a place to promote robust professional dialogue on social issues. IMPLICATIONS:Analysis of social workers' experience within participatory public spaces offers insight into how the profession can develop modern communication strategies and strong communities of practice in line with its professional principles and mandate.

“…This intense use of Facebook entails new opportunities for political participation (Lilleker & Jackson, 2010;Kruikemeier et al, 2014;Warren et al, 2014;Boulianne, 2015). Although Facebook basically attracts people for entertainment and social purposes, this type of use can easily lead to other activities related to public affairs.…”

“…There is a great deal of literature which has analyzed the characteristics of spontaneous citizen interactions on the Internet (see, for example, Wilhelm, 1998;Jensen, 2003;Graham, 2009;Ellison et al, 2010;Warren et al, 2014). This interest in the so called digital public sphere is explained through the relevance attributed to informal political by political theorists for democracy (Stromer-Galley & Wichowski, 2011;Shah, 2016).…”

Political conversations on Facebook. Exploring the role of homophily in argumentation and communicative interaction [1] Conversaciones políticas en Facebook. Explorando el papel de la homofilia en la argumentación y la interacción comunicativa AbstractResearch on online political talk has been overwhelmingly influenced by deliberative theory, as a result of the big hopes originally placed on the Internet capacity to revolutionize politics. However, two decades of empirical research point out that these informal communicative interactions hardly resemble deliberative ideals. In this study, we explore if Facebook contributors who share ideological stances are more likely to a) justify their points of view and b) interact with each other. We apply content analysis to a sample of 2,800 comments published on the Facebook walls of the four mayor Spanish political parties during General Election campaign 2015. Findings show that homophily is negatively related to both argumentation and interaction. It is the outsiders who are much more likely to reason their opinions, while it is those who hold neutral views who are more inclined towards interaction [1].
