Congressional Communication in the Social Media Age

Fri, September 6, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Marriott Philadelphia Downtown, 305

Session Submission Type: Full Paper Panel

Session Description

Communication is a critical component of representation. While there is a long tradition of studying Congress via the way members communicate with constituents and others, the rise of social media opens up new opportunities for research on rhetoric and representational style. What does Congressional communication look like in the digital age? The papers in this panel all use textual data from social media posts (Twitter and Facebok) to derive new insights.
