“…73 Castells's approach can help us better understand how the creation of ubran scale digital twins influences our comprehension of the public sphere. 74 In the sixth chapter of The Rise of the Network Society, which is devoted to the spaces of flows, Castells analyses '[t]he relationships between the space of flows and the space of places, between simultaneous globalization and localization'. 75 He argues that 'function and power in our societies are organized in the space of flows'.…”

The article examines the impact of the virtual public sphere on how urban spaces are experienced and conceived in our data-driven society. It places particular emphasis on urban scale digital twins, which are virtual replicas of cities that are used to simulate environments and develop scenarios in response to policy problems. The article also investigates the shift from the technical to the socio-technical perspective within the field of smart cities. Despite the aspirations of urban scale digital twins to enhance the participation of citizens in the decision-making processes relayed to urban planning strategies, the fact that they are based on a limited set of variables and processes makes them problematic. The article aims to shed light on the tension between the real and the ideal at stake during this process of abstracting sets of variables and processes in the case of urban scale digital twins.

“…Esa pluralidad permite la ampliación de la participación ciudadana, la diversidad de fuentes de información y la entrada de nuevos actores en el debate público. Por otro lado, el flujo de informaciones es mediado por los algoritmos de las plataformas que influyen en la circulación de los datos y pueden promover la formación de burbujas de filtros (Pariser, 2011;Bruns, 2019) y cámaras de eco, limitando la interacción para personas que piensan de la misma forma y alimentando la fragmentación de la sociedad (Sunstein, 2018), así como también crea un espacio para la difusión de la desinformación y dispositivo de modulación algorítmica (Rouvroy et al, 2013), todo ello demuestra su carácter ambivalente (De Blasio et al, 2020).…”

“…El aumento del número de personas conectadas a Internet, principalmente por el auge de las aplicaciones móviles y por la popularización de redes sociales, ha llevado a la formación de un complejo sistema híbrido de medios (Chadwick, 2017), asociado a un proceso de plataformización de la sociedad ( van Dijck, Poell y de Waal, 2018) que avanza hacia las «sociedades dataficadas» ( van Dijck, 2014). Todo ello, manifiesta una serie de desafíos para comprender el funcionamiento de una esfera pública digital y pone en agenda la discusión del propio concepto de esfera y opinión públicas (De Blasio et al, 2020).…”

Esta investigación se centra en el análisis de las transformaciones en la esfera pública digital. Tiene por objetivo estudiar los perfiles de Twitter en la polarización de conflictos políticos discursivos. A través del análisis de cinco conflictos diferentes en Brasil, registrados durante el año 2020, este trabajo analiza las 500 cuentas que registraron un mayor número de retuits dentro de una muestra de 447.762 mensajes recogidos mediante hashtags, que sumaron 334.588 retuits. Aplicando un análisis de residuos estandarizados, mediante lenguaje R, se plantea como objetivos identificar si efectivamente existe polarización ideológica en el debate público en Twitter e identificar el tipo de perfil que genera, en su caso, esa polarización en Twitter. Aunque los datos atañen únicamente a un estudio de caso concreto en Brasil, los resultados aportan valor para un análisis más amplio, dado que el contexto político y social brasileño plantea elevados niveles de confrontación y polarización política con proyección internacional. Los resultados permiten señalar que la esfera pública digital es dinámica, con el predominio de la personalización y customización del debate público, incrementado con la entrada de nuevos actores o fuentes en la discusión política y la pérdida de espacio como fuente de información en el debate público por parte de actores clásicos como los medios de comunicación.

“…In this new communication landscape, online journalism holds a pre-eminent position, affording the user access to instant information through an inexhaustible supply of news. Simultaneously, the development of digital platforms has contributed to the dynamic cultivation of public opinion (De Blasio et al 2020). Social media is not only a channel of communication with the public (Khan et al 2021), it also constitutes an integral part of online information with both the production and the dissemination of news, fundamentally altering the standards of human communication and networking (Zhang et al 2016).…”

A key parameter in the strategy of news organizations remains the exploitation of factors (such as post time and post type) that enhance the engagement level within online communities on social media. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between post time and post type in correlation with audience response in the Twitter digital platform. Specifically, the study aims to ascertain how the two specific variables affect user engagement with its Twitter posts and how they shape the effectiveness of communication on social networks. The analysis includes 7.122 tweets of the Greek National Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) over four months. Moreover, the study analyzes the tone of user comments on the Twitter posts of the specific public media organizations to understand in-depth how the users communicate their views publicly. The collection of comments lasted seven weeks and they numbered 265 in 2639 tweets. Regarding the post time variable, the study came to important findings on user behavior during the 24 h, as the number of Retweets appears to increase in the morning compared to the afternoon. It was also found that as time goes on, the user is interested in leaving his personal opinion. Regarding the correlation of post type with user engagement, it was found that the accompaniment of a tweet with audiovisual material has a tempting effect on users.
