In the crossfield between traditional and social media: A mixed-methods study of Danish parliamentarians' communication in a hybrid media environment

Projektdetaljer

Beskrivelse

In the PhD dissertation entitled “In the crossfield between traditional and social media: A mixed-methods study of Danish parliamentarians’ communication in a hybrid media environment”, Majbritt K. Severin-Nielsen examines the role of social media in Danish parliamentarians’ political communication in the 2020s, how they embed the new media into their broader communicative practices, and the impact it has on the political output. The theory of the hybrid media system, coined by Chadwick (2013), has served as a framework theory and has guided the project’s orientation towards the hybrid aspects of politicians’ communication in the 2020s. Methodologically, Severin-Nielsen combines insights from an interview study among Danish parliamentarians about their media practices and perceptions in a hybrid media environment with a document study of their cross-media behaviors to gain a more in-depth understanding of how politicians navigate in the complex media environment of today and the potential impacts it has on other tasks of policymaking. The study concludes by nuancing and revising some of the common myths about social media’s impact on politics in the Danish society.
