Use of Twitter by the members of the Greek Parliament

The present research studies the use of the social media platform “Twitter” from the members of the Greek parliament. Firstly, has been carried out an overview of the theoretical framework, which is wide, because social media is a relatively new field of academic research.

In order to study the use of Twitter by the Greek politicians, quantitative as well as qualitative methods of research are being conducted. In the first part of the study a qualitative analysis is being implemented, which results to the followership index and, for the 32 parliament members with the highest followership rank, the engagement rank.

The 16 politicians with the higher engagement rank are being analyzed more in the qualitative part of the research. Particularly, structured interviews (questionnaires) are being conducted, as well as content analysis which is based on the hashtags and the mentions that have been used by the parliament members during the following time period: 20/08/2016 – 20/11/2016.

Main objectives of the present study is to understand what kind of tweets is more preferable by the Greek politicians, if and to what extent are interactive with other users and which is their performance at important indexes, such as the followership and the engagement. It is, moreover, interesting to know what is their own perspective and view of the modern social networks and which were the principal reasons that lead them at joining the new social media “space”.
