Twitter和Blogosphere中的公共领域。来自US的证据

Public Spheres in Twitter- and Blogosphere. Evidence from the US

Christoph Waldhauser

摘要:

政治需要一个讨论的场所,而哈贝马斯将其定位于公共领域。最初,大众媒体的作用是促进这些辩论。然而,在自由市场竞争和受众流动的巨大压力下,大众媒体更喜欢情节新闻而不是主题新闻。另一方面,社交媒体被誉为一个新的论坛,是境况不佳的公共领域的转世,以进一步审议政治问题。但是,社交媒体中政党的追随者是否认可主题或情节内容?为了回答这个问题,我看了共和党和民主党Twitter账户最近发布的3,200条推文。通过采用潜在的Dirichlet分配,我提取这些推文和链接的网站的流行主题。广义线性模型被用来描述之间的关系的episodicity,主题和背书计数的职位分析。我发现民主党和共和党追随者的行为形成了鲜明的对比。总的来说,似乎对主题信息有轻微的偏好。有趣的是,距离选举的距离增加了信息被认可的几率。

英文摘要:

The political requires a forum for its deliberation and Habermas has located it in the public spheres. Originally, mass media's role was one of a facilitator of these debates. However, under the immense pressures of free market competition and mobile audiences, mass media prefers episodic over thematic news. On the opposite end of the spectrum, social media has been heralded as a new forum, a reincarnation of the ailing public spheres to further the deliberation of the political. But do the followers of political parties in social media endorse thematic or episodic content? To answer this question, I look at the most recent 3,200 tweets that were broadcast from the Republican and Democratic Twitter accounts. By employing Latent dirichlet allocation, I extract the prevailing topics of these tweets and linked websites. Generalized linear models are used to describe the relationship between episodicity, thematicity and the endorsement counts of the posts analyzed. I find that there is a stark contrast between the behavior of Democratic and Republican followers. In general, there seems to be a slight preference for thematic messages. Interestingly, the distance to an election increases the odds of a message to be endorsed.
