“…Second, studies which examined the role and use of social media platforms from a mainly citizen-or journalist-oriented perspective were considered outside the scope of the review (examples are Marchetti & Ceccobelli, 2016;Ohme, 2019;Splendore & Rega, 2017).…”

In recent years, politicians and political parties have increasingly adopted various social media as political communication platforms. While the research on the topic has provided valuable knowledge about politicians’ use of these platforms and the immediate effects, the literature has mainly studied the usage in isolation from their broader communication with citizens. This article provides an overview of the emerging literature that examines politicians’ social media usage in a broader context. Through a scoping review of 49 studies published between 2008 and November 2022, the study identifies three main themes and seven subthemes in the literature and calls for more research to build more robust knowledge across different study contexts. In particular, the review emphasises a need for more longitudinal and qualitative perspectives to assess how politicians navigate between competing media logics in a hybrid media environment, how the new reality impacts them, and whether it alters their communication with citizens over time.

“…those who, in that period, sent politically relevant Twitter messages with hashtags or keywords or wrote similar Facebook posts, and/or who followed the Twitter or Facebook profiles of political candidates or parties (McKelvey et al, 2014). The public also includes professional journalists and media outlets (Bracciale & Martella, 2016) whose mediatisation is an important object of study for interpreting the communication of political actors (Splendore & Rega, 2017). A new media system with its own media logic has been set up (van Dijck & Poell, 2013;Klinger & Svensson, 2016;Enli & Simonsen, 2017).…”

The outcomes of a bibliographic review on political communication, in particular electoral communication in social networks, are presented here. The electoral campaigning are a crucial test to verify the transformations of the media system and of the forms and uses of the linguistic acts by dominant actors in public spherecandidates, parties, journalists and Gatekeepers. The aim is to reconstruct the first elements of an analytical model on the transformations of the political public sphere, with which to systematize the results of the main empirical research carried out in recent years, in particular those conducted with a promising methodology: Digital Trace Data Analysis.

“…Forty years later, the effect has been so profound that it is now said to amount to the ‘mediatization’ of politics (Boumans et al, 2013; Campus, 2010; Hjarvard, 2008; Splendore and Rega, 2017). This is a subset of the transition from investigative journalism to ‘infotainment’ (Turner, 2005).…”

Defying expectations: what leader insurgencies reveal about media and party incapacity in the time of ‘audience democracy’

Political communication and citizen engagement have been impacted by crises in both political parties and conventional media models. This article contends that the confluence of these crises has been insufficiently understood, and that this lack of understanding depends upon a third element: the dissolution of a ‘holding culture’, a sense of the ‘rules of the game’ that has constituted the ground on which parties and the media operated and generated the imaginative space for constituting community. This dissolution might be represented as resistance to a now discredited political class, once constituted by ‘old’ political and media elites, and promising a new culture – with the potential for parties to be more responsive to ‘the people’, and for a more diversified and representative media. By looking at case studies of leadership insurgency in parties and the impact of new media in creating the discursive conditions for their emergence, this article explores the realities in relation to political communication and democratic engagement.
