“…On the other hand, the topics mostly addressed by influencers match the main gender perspective topics in traditional media agenda: issues related to sexist violence (Casero-Ripollés, 2010). This fact also has been pointed out by Fernández-Rovira & Villegas-Simón (2019), who highlight the relationship between Twitter and the media agenda, since most tweets with gender perspective published by Spanish politicians are related to news events and feminicides.…”

With the rise of digital feminism, this article explores the role of Spanish digital influencers considered as feminist referents and the topics addressed by them on social networks from a gender perspective. An online survey was used to create a ranking of the twelve most popular influencers by social media users. Firstly, an analysis of their professional and sociodemographic profiles was made. Secondly, a cross-platform content analysis of the posts published by these influencers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram was undertaken. The results show the homogenous profile of the most popular feminist influencers. The main topics addressed in their social networks are linked to gender violence, especially on Twitter, which is the social network where they publish the largest number of posts with a gender perspective despite having more followers on Instagram. Finally, the study concludes that online feminist discourses replicate the issues in the traditional media agenda and omit other topics that involve women belonging to minorities or related to the private sphere.

A partir de la realización de una encuesta, se ha establecido un ranking con las doce influencers digitales más populares consideradas feministas. En primer lugar, se analizaron sus perfiles sociodemográficos junto con su actividad profesional. En segundo lugar, se llevó a cabo un análisis de contenido de sus publicaciones en Facebook, Twitter e Instagram. Los resultados muestran una homogeneidad de los perfiles de las influencers feministas más populares. Los principales temas abordados en sus redes sociales están vinculados a la violencia de género, siendo Twitter la red social donde publican mayor cantidad de posts con perspectiva de género, a pesar de que en Instagram tienen más seguidores. Finalmente, el estudio concluye que los discursos feministas online replican los temas y asuntos de la agenda de los medios tradicionales y dejan de lado otros temas de la agenda feminista que implican a mujeres que pertenecen a minorías y temas relacionados con la esfera privada.

Who Did Spanish Politicians Start Following on Twitter? Homophilic Tendencies among the Political Elite

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Political communication has undergone transformations since the advent of digital networks, but do these new platforms promote interactivity and a public sphere with a more democratic political debate or do they function as echo chambers of the elites? In this research, we study the accounts that Spanish politicians started following on Twitter from 2017 to 2020, with the aim of understanding whether they reproduce patterns of homophilic tendencies or if they give space to new voices. To do so, we selected a sample from the deputies that were in the Spanish parliament during the four years of the study and through a big data and machine learning software, we identified the accounts they started following as a network and categorized them. We combined manual and computational data analysis methods and used data visualization techniques to look for patterns and trends. The results suggest that the Spanish political elites exhibit homophilic behaviors in terms of account types and geographic proximity and present a gender balance among the accounts. This study also suggests that the behavior of the political elite presented particularities during the electoral period, where we can observe an intensification of the homophilic patterns.
