NetSci2020 Political Communication Networks

18/09/2020

The aim of the PCNet20 satellite is to provide a forum where qualitative and quantitative methods in political communication studies can interact and mutually cross-fertilize.

Traditionally, news media served as an interface between citizens and politics, eventually influencing the political behaviour together with the context and social networks embeddedness.

In the information age, both politics and communication are transformed. The popularity of online social platforms has increased the number of actors able to spread political, commercial and other messages to a massive number of potential recipients. In this workshop, we want to explore and characterize such phenomena through the lens of network science.

Topics

Networked Collective Political Identities
Context collapse
Online Culture Wars
Diffusion of News and Misinformation
Selective Exposure, Echo Chambers and Polarization
Emergence of leaderships
Digital Parties Platform Communication
Data based propaganda
Populism (operative definition / quantification)
The Rise of the far right

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS:
