Internet users engage in the contribution of political content via a wide range of platforms. They post on discussion forums, contribute messages on news sites' bulletin boards, add comments to discussions linked to articles, update their profiles on Facebook, post short messages on Twitter, and upload videos to video sharing sites. By contributing...
With the decline in traditional media's reach and the increase of Internet use, social media spaces are becoming increasingly popular for political communication. Specifically, about a third of American Internet users have a profile on a social networking site, and 40% of them have used these sites to engage in political activity of some kind. Amon...
The belief in the benefit of exposure to cross-ideological opinions can be traced back to John Stuart Mill (1859, p. 21), who pointed out that “[I]f the opinion is right, they [people] are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression ...

In the months preceding the 2008 elections, 10% of all American adults and 40% of social networking site users used networking services to engage in political activity, discovering political affiliations of their own friends, signing up as friends of candidates,...
Twitter can be thought of as a conversational microblog (Barash & Golder, 2010). Like bloggers, messages posted by Twitter users are made visible to their followers, who are the collection of people who subscribe to them.

This study proposes taking a multimethod approach to examining exposure to cross-ideological opinions in Twitter political discussions. First, network analysis was used to identify the main clusters in the 10 Twitter networks created by the connections among people who tweeted one of the terms selected for this study. Second, for messages in each m...
As discussed in the Methods section, of the 5,000 messages retrieved (500 per topic), only 2,117 (42.34%) were associated with the main clusters and therefore selected for analysis, in order to capture participants who are exposed to other participants that post messages about a given issue. Specifically: Deficit (N = 112), DNC (N = 333), global wa...
This study integrates network analysis and content analysis to examine user exposure to cross-ideological content on Twitter. Two major implications of this study are related to the partisan political exposure and the role that traditional media and grassroots sources play as sources of political information on this social space. We discuss them ne...
Social networking sites and social media in general are becoming popular venues for political talk and interaction for individuals (Pew, 2009) and politicians (Williams & Gulati, 2007). Political talk on Twitter does not occur in a strictly political environment, and individuals create social ties based on a wide range of interests, not only based ...
