社交媒体服务已成为政治沟通的领域。政治家将其融入竞选活动，记者将其作为来源和话题，公众将其用于政治讨论。在这方面，社交媒体上的政治活动显然与传统媒体的政治报道相互关联。本文分析了2009年德国联邦大选竞选期间评论政治的推特消息。它将表明，Twitter消息的时间动态和内容遵循政治报道的混合逻辑，有时遵循与传统新闻媒体中政治行为者的报道相同的逻辑，而在其他情况下，遵循特定于互联网上的政治表达的逻辑。
Social media services have become areas of political communication. Politicians integrate them in their campaigns, journalists use them as sources and topics, and the public uses them for the discussion of politics. In this, political activities on social media are clearly interconnected with the coverage of politics by traditional media. This article analyzes Twitter messages commenting on politics during the campaign for the 2009 federal election in Germany. It will be shown that the temporal dynamics and content of Twitter messages follow a hybrid logic of political coverage, sometimes following the same logic as the coverage of political actors in traditional news media, whereas in other cases following a logic specific to political expression on the Internet.
