New Hopes for Democracy or a Pirated Elite? Swedish Social Media Users and Political Mobilisation.
Författare
Summary, in English
The results are puzzling: on the one hand, there is an almost unanimous contempt for political campaigns in social media among the participants. On the other hand, almost all of the participants are engaging with politics in social media in various ways. The article concludes in arguing that intensive methods must be used in order to gain a richer understanding of the political behaviour of citizens online.
