我们对Twitter的媒体版图进行了初步但开创性的研究。我们使用关于谁跟随谁的公开数据来揭示媒体消费中的共同行为，不同类别媒体之间的关系，以及社交链接可能带来的媒体内容的多样性。我们的分析表明，间接媒体曝光的数量是不容忽视的，无论是通过关注特定媒体来源的朋友，还是通过转发消息。我们发现，间接媒体曝光以惊人的程度扩大了用户接触到的新闻的政治多样性，使范围增加了60%-98%。这些结果很有价值，因为它们对传统媒体来说并不容易获得，它们可以帮助预测我们将如何阅读新闻，以及出版商未来将如何与我们互动。
We present a preliminary but groundbreaking study of the media landscape of Twitter. We use public data on whom follows who to uncover common behaviour in media consumption, the relationship between various classes of media, and the diversity of media content which social links may bring. Our analysis shows that there is a non-negligible amount of indirect media exposure, either through friends who follow particular media sources, or via retweeted messages. We show that the indirect media exposure expands the political diversity of news to which users are exposed to a surprising extent, increasing the range by between 60-98%. These results are valuable because they have not been readily available to traditional media, and they can help predict how we will read news, and how publishers will interact with us in the future.
