L’ecosistema dei media e le piattaforme digitali
No full textIn questo capitolo discuteremo le principali trasformazioni che internet e le piattaforme digitali di social networking hanno determinato nei sistemi mediali e, di conseguenza, nelle dinamiche della comunicazione politica. L’attuale ecosistema dei media è infatti caratterizzato da grande fluidità, interdipendenza e dalla possibilità per un insieme ampio e eterogeneo di soggetti di esercitare influenza. Si discuteranno dunque le principali proprietà che caratterizzano le logiche, gli attori e i contenuti di tale ecosistema con l’obiettivo di mostrare in che modo l’ambito della comunicazione politica sia andato riconfigurandosi negli ultimi decenni
Pan-Arab Satellite Television and Arab National Information Systems: Journalists' Perspectives on a Complicated Relationship
No full textMedia scholarship has mostly focused on the regional and global dimension of the 'satellite revolution' in Arab news, insisting on concepts such as the 'pan-Arab public sphere' and 'media panarabism.' Taking Egypt as a case study, this article moves from a 'purely' pan-Arab perspective to a broader approach that examines the complex relationship between pan-Arab satellite news media and national media systems. Through a discussion of journalists' representations of their professional community, I investigate how far the coverage and practices of pan-Arab all-news broadcasters have blurred the borders of national media systems, creating new hybrid spaces. My findings show that both satellite broadcast journalists and national media journalists define themselves and their work practices in terms of mutual relationships. The idea of a hybrid space is, at least in the journalists' self-representations, in some way confirmed: a space encompassed by a transnational framework in which 'the national' still maintains its specificities. The article is based on multi-sited research and observation in the headquarters of Gulf-based pan-Arab satellite news media and in Egyptian newsrooms.(Product of workshop no. 13 at the MRM 2008
Outside the Bubble: Social Media and Political Participation in Western Democracies
Full text linkThe ways in which citizens experience politics on social media have overall positive implications for political participation and equality in Western democracies. This book investigates the relationship between political experiences on social media and institutional political participation based on custom-built post-election surveys on samples representative of Internet users in Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States between 2015 and 2018. On the whole, social media do not constitute echo chambers, as most users see a mixture of political content they agree and disagree with. Social media also facilitate accidental encounters with news and exposure to electoral mobilization among substantial numbers of users. Furthermore, political experiences on social media have relevant implications for participation. Seeing political messages that reinforce one’s viewpoints, accidentally encountering political news, and being targeted by electoral mobilization on social media are all positively associated with participation. Importantly, these political experiences enhance participation, especially among citizens who are less politically involved. Conversely, the participatory benefits of social media do not vary based on users’ ideological preferences and on whether they voted for populist parties. Finally, political institutions matter, as some political experiences on social media are more strongly associated with participation in majoritarian systems and in party-centric systems. While social media may be part of many societal problems, they can contribute to the solution to at least two important democratic ills—citizens’ disconnection from politics and inequalities between those who choose to exercise their voice and those who remain silent
Political Filter Bubbles and Fragmented Publics
No full textThis chapter asks to what extent citizens encounter sufficient, and sufficiently diverse, political content on digital media. Although the affordances of many digital platforms facilitate selective exposure, potentially leading users to avoid content they dislike or disagree with, other affordances facilitate serendipitous encounters with unsearched-for information, which might include content people dislike or disagree with. Yet, most scholarship and public debate have focused on selectivity rather than serendipity, as shown by the popularity of the metaphors of the “echo chamber” and the “filter bubble”. We review recent evidence from research based on different methods that shows that echo chambers and filter bubbles are less prevalent than is often assumed, that encounters with disagreeing opinions on social media are more common than in messaging apps and face-to-face conversations, and that an arguably bigger problem for democracy is that many citizens are exposed to little, if any, political content online

La comunicazione politica contemporanea
No full textDisciplina relativamente giovane, la comunicazione politica ha già al suo attivo l’archiviazione di stili comunicativi e campagne elettorali proprie del passato, quando il sistema politico e il sistema mediale presentavano tratti profondamente diversi da quelli di oggi. Questo volume si pone l’obiettivo di analizzare la comunicazione politica contemporanea, riflettendo sulle radici che affondano nel passato ma proiettandosi nettamente nel futuro. Il testo si sviluppa in tre parti che ricomprendono le dimensioni più significative della comunicazione politica oggi. La prima parte affronta il tema della costruzione del dibattito pubblico, evidenziando le difficoltà che caratterizzano i rapporti tra politica, media e cittadini. La seconda parte indaga e ricostruisce le profonde trasformazioni che hanno investito le forme della partecipazione politica, proponendo una ridefinizione del suo perimetro in termini di instabilità e inclusività. La terza parte affronta la questione della conquista del consenso nell’attuale ecosistema mediale. A conclusione di questo viaggio, risultano ben chiare le sfide presenti nello studio della comunicazione politica contemporanea e altrettanto chiari appaiono gli strumenti necessari per affrontarle
