各方正在以多种方式适应新的数字环境；然而，民粹主义传播与社交媒体之间的确切关系仍然很少被考虑。这项研究比较了六个西方民主国家左翼、中间派和右翼政治行动者在Twitter和Facebook上采用的民粹主义沟通策略。我们对政治家的社交媒体声明（N=1400）进行了半自动化的内容分析，发现民粹主义以碎片化的形式表现出来，主要由政治光谱极端的政治行为者（右翼和左翼）、反对党和Facebook使用。
Parties are adapting to the new digital environment in many ways; however, the precise relations between populist communication and social media are still hardly considered. This study compares populist communication strategies on Twitter and Facebook employed by a broad spectrum of left-wing, center, and right-wing political actors in six Western democracies. We conduct a semi-automated content analysis of politicians' social media statements (N=1400) and find that populism manifests itself in a fragmented form and is mostly used by political actors at the extremes of the political spectrum (both right-wing and left-wing), by opposition parties, and on Facebook.
