“…On the other hand, citizen news platforms seem to be adequate spaces for political deliberation, where people -especially those who create the content used for further debates about a specific matter -can reflect on and discuss issues affecting them and their communities. Virtual spaces for deliberation, also often referred to as 'online third spaces' -beyond home or work -have been found to be 'incubators of political actions' both offline and online (see Graham et al, 2015aGraham et al, , 2015bKoc-Michalska and Lilleker, 2016). Based on these previous explanations and findings, it seems reasonable to expect citizen news creation to have a similar positive effect on participation.…”

This article explores the role of trust in professional and alternative media as (a) antecedents of citizen news production, and (b) moderators of the effect of citizen news production on political participation. Using two-wave panel survey data collected in the United States between December 2013 and March 2014, results show that trust in citizen media predicts people’s tendency to create news. In turn, citizen news production is a positive predictor of both offline and online participation. More importantly, trust in the media moderates the effect of citizen news production over online political participation. Overall, this article highlights the importance of trust in the media with respect to citizen news production and how it matters for democracy. Thus, this study casts a much-needed light on how media trust and citizen journalism intertwine in explaining a more engaged and participatory citizenry.

“…Recent attempts to utilize digital platforms to mobilize young voters and strengthen engagement have had some success at the ballot box (Koc-Michalska & Lilleker, 2017; Lilleker & Koc-Michalska, 2017; Macnamara et al, 2012; Mann & Mayhew, 2015). This seems logical given the fact that young people are avid users of digital platforms (Macnamara et al, 2012).…”

This article presents a study of young voter engagement in relation to the EU referendum—a democratic vote on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union. Using the marketing concept of engagement, we examine how young voters engaged cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally with the referendum and its associated campaigns. A mixed-method study combining multiple-phase questionnaires, longitudinal social network analysis of Twitter, and sentiment analysis provides a rich empirical description of young voter engagement. The findings reveal that young voter engagement is multi-faceted and varies enormously across our sample, particularly for behavioral engagement online. We subsequently question the analytical relevance of the engagement construct for political marketing before developing a typology to classify young voters according to the variance and extent of their specific engagement profile, which we define as “Prototypical Engagement Persona.” We conclude the article by presenting an agenda for future research on young voter engagement.

“…Schroeder (2018) suggests that the integration of digital media in democratic contexts has changed the political environment in terms of a diversification of content and format. Others have argued that social media (Web 2.0 technologies) like blogs, Facebook and Twitter, offer additional opportunities for political engagement (Koc-Michalska and Lilleker, 2016). This article aims to contribute to the literature by analysing the impact of digital media in the context of its role in changing approaches to political organisation and campaigns, with a focus on a case study in British politics.…”

Digital media as a driver of change in political organisation: 2010 and 2015 UK general elections

In Britain, by 2015, Web 2.0 had become a more widely accepted and established mode of civic engagement of which political e-participation became an observable extension. However, in the run-up to 2010, social media were newer, less understood and largely associated with younger generations. These changes present questions about how wider technocultural developments impacted political engagement between the 2010 and 2015 UK general elections. This article aims to go some way in examining this question with a theoretical focus on the role of Facebook as a driver of change in political organisation. Using the British Conservative Party as a case study, the article analyses and compares events, observations and shifting power relations associated with digital technology and organisational change observed over two election cycles spanning from 2005 to 2015. A focal aim is to examine changes in Conservative Party campaigns and organisation in order to contribute to wider debates about the impact of digital technology in changing the organisation and activities of actors, like political parties and political participants, in democratic contexts. The article concludes that a complex combination of internal and external, technological and human, and grassroots and centralised factors played roles in changing the Conservative Party.
