“…Since researchers have indications to the effect that a digital divide runs across newsrooms (Hedman and Djerf-Pierre 2013), we can expect that while the overall impact of SNSs is not prominent, some subgroups of journalists, especially the younger cohorts, might be using social media more intensively. On the other hand, when they attempt to present themselves as tech-savvy, journalists may overestimate the role of social media in their work, as was suggested by surveys that revealed discrepancy between attitudes and practices (Lariscy et al 2009;Sheffer and Schultz 2010). A possible corrective for the limitations of surveys and quantitative content studies could be gained from subsequent inquiries based on ethnographic methods and indepth interviews (cf.…”

Citation: HLADIK, R. and STETKA, V., 2015. The powers that tweet: social media as news sources in the Czech Republic. Journalism Studies, 18(2), pp. 154-174. The study relies on a content analysis of a six-month sample of news articles collected in 2013 and focuses on social networking sites (SNSs), namely Facebook and Twitter, in their capacity as acknowledged sources in the agenda of traditional news media in the Czech Republic. The results include information on the differences between tabloid and quality press, the topics and actors that are likely to be associated with social media in their capacity as sources, the links between social media sources and the geographical focus of the news, and the type of social media content that the news media are inclined to use. The main features of the utilization of SNSs as news sources in the Czech Republic can be characterized by low intensity, a preference for domestic affairs, and a bias toward tabloidization. In several examined categories, we found evidence of consistently disparate uses of Facebook and Twitter that caution against generalizations about the role of social media in journalism and signal the requirement for a more nuanced approach to individual platforms. The article concludes that Czech news media do not fully exploit the democratic potential of SNSs and favor elite sources.

“…Approaches to the study of social media within the framework of journalism differ, with the focus shifting from its use as a source (Ahmad, 2010;Broersma and Graham, 2013;Knight, 2012Knight, , 2011Lariscy et al, 2009) to its use in distributing the news (#bbcsms: Technology & Innovation -YouTube, 2011;Bosch, 2010;Farhi, 2011;Gleason, 2010;Newman, 2011Newman, , 2009Stassen, 2010) and in self-promotion. As with many new technologies, much initial research is descriptive, and focuses on the potential for these new technologies.…”

Resumen. Esta investigación analiza las cuentas en Facebook de las 70 diócesis que estructuran la Iglesia española. Se han analizado las cuentas mediante una ficha de análisis que estudia el potencial de influencia, el grado de interacción y el grado de compromiso de los seguidores con esos perfiles. En una España cada vez menos católica las diócesis españolas han conseguido reunir en Facebook a 45.000 personas para hablar de religión e informarse sobre noticias y actividades relacionadas con ella, y cerca de un tercio presentan un vínculo fuerte con sus seguidores. Palabras clave: Redes sociales; Facebook; Iglesia Católica; evangelización; Diócesis españolas.[en] Social networks and evangelization: the case of Spanish dioceses in Facebook Abstract.

In the less Catholic Spain in history the Spanish dioceses have managed to gather 45,000 people on Facebook to talk about religion and learn about news and its related activities, and about a third show a strong bond with his followers.
