“…New media are still complementary to traditional media and are not likely to replace other campaign activities completely (Towner and Dulio, 2012, p. 99 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 7 Facebook, and Twitter have become an integral part of the campaign mix, both for politicians and for voters (Hansen and Kosiara-Pedersen, 2014b;Skovsgaard and Van Dalen, 2013). Since setting the campaign agenda can give politicians important electoral advantages (e.g.…”

A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2 and Public Management ABSTRACT Given the importance of issue competition in a West European context and the growing use of Facebook in elections, this paper studies how politicians use Facebook to shape the campaign agenda. We analyze the issues addressed in 6388 Facebook posts by candidates in the Danish 2011 parliamentary election. A limited share of Facebook updates is dedicated to issues. TheFacebook agenda did not respond to standings in the polls, nor to the media agenda or public agenda. Comparing issue engagement of new candidates and re-running candidates we find that the Facebook campaign agenda is not simply politics as usual.

“…With the impact of social media tools in the election victory of Barack Obama in the USA, recent studies have focused on the use of social media in election campaigns (for USA see Sweetser Trammell 2007;Williams et al 2005;Robertson et al 2010;Williams and Gulati 2009b, c;Sweetser and Lariscy 2008;Gulati and Williams 2011;Williams and Gulati 2012;Gueorguieva 2008;Church 2010;Klotz 2010;Steger et al 2010;Towner and Dulio 2011;Bimber 2014-for other countries see Gibson and McAllister 2011;Vesnic-Alujevic 2011;Andersen and Medaglia 2009;Carlson and Strandberg 2008;Larsson and Moe 2011;Larsson 2014;Gilmore 2011;Chen and Smith 2011;Strandberg 2013;Hansen and Kosiara-Pedersen 2014).

“…Moreover, although they had a positive effect on the vote, Web 2.0 campaigns did not generate significantly higher rates of support. Hansen and Kosiara-Pedersen (2014), who focused on the cyber-campaigning of candidates in 2011 Danish general elections, determined an online score for each candidate and argued that the online scores of candidates have an effect on the interparty competition for personal votes but have no significant effect when controlling for other relevant variables. Yannas et al (2011) found that online presence did not significantly affect local elections in Greece in 2010, although the winning candidates used Web 1.0 and 2.0 tools.…”

Today, social media offer political actors (i.e., politicians, political parties, NGOs, activists) opportunities for political communication, particularly during election periods. Political parties and candidates use social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube comprehensively to convey their messages to large audiences, persuade their voters, and mobilize their supporters. The use of social media causes changes in the nature of election campaigns and paves the way for a "co-generated campaign." However, studies focusing on the experiences of political actors' use of social media in the campaigns at the subnational level (regional or local) are rare in the relevant literature. In this context, this chapter aims to analyze the net effect of Twitter on the election success of the candidates in the 2014 local elections in Turkey. Findings of our analysis show that when other variables are fixed, candidates with a Twitter account have 4.5 times greater chance of winning the election than those without an account.
