Picturing the party : Instagram and party campaigning in the 2014 Swedish elections
- 2016
-
In: Social Media + Society. - : SAGE Publications. - 2056-3051. ; 2:3
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores Swedish parties’ activities on Instagram during the 2014 elections. Understanding party campaign communication as highly strategic, that is, communication to persuade and mobilize voters in order to win the elections, we ask whether Instagram was used to (1) broadcast campaign messages, (2) mobilize supporters, (3) manage the party’s image, and (4) amplify and complement other campaign material (i.e., hybrid campaign use). With this study, we follow previous studies on the use of digital communication platforms in the hands of campaigning political actors, but we direct our attention to a new platform. We conducted a content analysis of 220 party postings on Instagram, collected during the hot phase of the campaign. The result shows that the platform was mainly used for broadcasting rather than for mobilization. The image the parties were presenting leaned toward personalization with a strong presence of top candidates in their postings. Top candidates were primarily displayed in a political/professional context. Finally, half of the analyzed postings showed signs of hybridized campaign practices. The presented findings give a first glimpse on how political parties use and perform on Instagram.

Network Media Logic : Some Conceptual Considerations
- 2016
-
In: <em>Routledge Companion to Social Media and Politics</em>. - New York : Routledge. - 113886076X ; , s. 23-38
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter we revisit our concept of network media logic and further develop it in relation with political logics. The perspective of network media logic is useful to explain how social media platforms change political communication without resorting to technological determinism or normalization. By relating network media logic to both mass media logics as well as political logics we are able outline how these are distinctly different, while still overlapping in terms of how political communication is produced, distributed and used. In this chapter we pay particular attention to how ideals, commercial imperatives, and technological affordances differ in news mass media and on social media platforms in terms of media production, media distribution and media usage.

The Emergence of Network Media Logic in Political Communication : A Theoretical Approach
- 2015
-
In: New Media and Society. - : SAGE Publications. - 1461-4448 .- 1461-7315. ; 17:8, s. 1241-1257
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this article we propose a concept of network media logic in order to discuss how online social media platforms change political communication without resorting to technological determinism or normalization. We argue that social media platforms operate with a distinctly different logic from that of traditional mass media, though overlapping with it. This is leading to different ways of producing content, distributing information and using media. By discussing the differences between traditional mass media and social media platforms in terms of production, consumption and use, we carve out the central elements of network media logic – that is, the rules/format of communication on social media platforms – and some consequences for political communication.

The power of code : women and the making of the digital world
- 2021
-
In: Information, Communication and Society. - : Routledge. - 1369-118X .- 1468-4462. ; 24:14, s. 2075-2090
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Most research on gender and digital communication centers on how women use digital media, how they participate online, or how they are treated in online forums and social media. This article, in contrast, approaches gender from a behind the screen perspective. How algorithms and platforms are created, designed, and maintained, the affordances they provide for users and how they govern the ways users communicate with each other, has a major impact on digital communication. However, it is mostly men who create these technologies. Our study approaches technologies as socio-cultural, departing from the concept of network media logic. Empirically, it is based on (1) the review of a diverse body of literature from the history of programming, professional sociology, and computer science and documents such as the diversity reports from tech giants, as well as on (2) 64 semi-structured expert interviews conducted with male and female programmers in seven countries over a time-period of four years. Results show that the gender gap continues to run deep. We report results in four dimensions: professional culture, pervasive stereotypes, lack of role models and typical career paths.

Vernetzung als Problem : Social Media in der Politik
- 2014
-
In: European Journalism Observatory. ; Dezember:16
-
Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Politiker und politische Parteien interessieren sich sehr dafür, das Internet und speziell soziale Netzwerke für ihre Kommunikation einzusetzen. Obwohl bislang unklar bleibt, wie viele zusätzliche Stimmen sich über Facebook, Twitter & Co gewinnen lassen, bieten diese Anwendungen ein großes Potential für Dialog, Image-Management und die gezielte Ansprache von potentiellen Wählern. Vor diesem Hintergrund scheint es zunächst überraschend, dass sich politische Akteure im Umgang mit Social Media so schwer tun. Empirische Studien belegen, dass Social Media, wenn überhaupt, zumeist als weiterer Kanal für einseitige Information eingesetzt werden. Dagegen findet kaum wirkliche Interaktion mit den Bürgern statt und ein großer Teil ihres Potentials bleibt ungenutzt.

Politicians online : Identifying current research opportunities
- 2014
-
In: First Monday. - : University of Illinois Libraries. - 1396-0466. ; 19:4
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- For more than a decade, researchers have shown interest in how politicians make use of the Internet for a variety of purposes. Based on critical assessments of previous online political communication scholarship, this paper identifies a series of overlooked areas of research that should be of interest for researchers concerned with how politicians make use of online technologies. Specifically, three such research opportunities are introduced. First, we suggest that research should attempt to move beyond dichotomization, such as conceiving of the Internet as either bringing about revolutionary changes or having a normalizing effect. Second, while there is a considerable body of knowledge regarding the activity of politicians during election campaigns, relatively little is known about the day–to–day communicative uses of the Internet at the hands of politicians. The third section argues that as political communication research has typically focused on national or international levels of study, scholars within the field should also make efforts to contribute to our knowledge of online practices at the hands of politicians at regional and local levels — something we label as studies at the micro level. In synthesizing the literature available regarding the use of the Internet at the hands of politicians, the paper concludes suggesting routes ahead for interested scholars.
