社交媒体越来越多地被用作主流新闻报道的来源。然而，尽管迄今为止的研究主要集中在社交媒体在特定情况下的使用，如突发新闻报道、危机新闻事件期间或选举期间，但很少有人关注记者对社交媒体平台的日常监控。这项研究的目的是考察社交媒体作为常规报纸报道来源的使用和选择。首先，它对2006年1月至2013年12月期间在两份佛兰德(北比利时)优质报纸《de Standaard》和《de Morgen》印刷版上发表的明确提到Facebook、Twitter或YouTube的所有文章进行了量化概述。接下来，对2013年发表的明确提到Facebook、Twitter或YouTube作为信息来源的报纸文章样本进行内容分析。这一内容分析的目的是考察社交媒体引用在新闻中的不同表现和功能。因此，这项研究为比利时报纸记者在社交媒体上的常规采购提供了第一个洞察力。
Social media are increasingly being used as sources in mainstream news coverage. Yet, while the research so far has focused mainly on the use of social media in particular situations, such as breaking news coverage, during crisis news events or in times of elections, little attention is paid to journalists' routine, day-to-day monitoring of social media platforms. The aim of this study is to examine the use and selection of social media as sources in routine newspaper coverage. First, it presents a quantitative overview of all the articles published between January 2006 and December 2013 in the print editions of two Flemish (north Belgian) quality newspapers, De Standaard and De Morgen, that explicitly refer to Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. Next, a content analysis is conducted of a sample of newspaper articles published in 2013 that explicitly mention Facebook, Twitter or YouTube as sources of information. The goal of this content analysis is to examine the different appearances and functions of social media references in the news. The study thus provides a first insight into Belgian newspaper journalists' regular sourcing routines in relation to social media.
