The use of digital propaganda during crises and elections to manipulate public opinion, suppress dissent, and diminish activists’ voices has been increasingly witnessed in recent times in both developed and developing countries. Digital propaganda refers to the use of machines in addition to human users to interact with humans or run a campaign on the internet, computer and mobile devices designed to deliberately manipulate public opinion during crises or elections. While developing countries continue to have a limited internet base, this has not deterred political actors from integrating the internet into their propaganda strategies. Using Twitter data on two international conflicts between India and Pakistan–the Uri attack and the subsequent Surgical Strike–I show how online public opinion has been manipulated by a handful of sources that are driven by algorithms. Online public opinion has been able to enter the offline domain because of the contextual hybridity and the emergence of a hybrid media system. These findings reflect the limitations of public opinion in the digital age, and call attention to political polarization in the country. I discuss the need to integrate computational techniques with critical analysis of tweets and suspicious Twitter accounts to identify political bots online.Publication The Effects of News Consumption on Emotions and Political Participation: A Moderated Mediation Analysis(2020-09-04) NEYAZI, TABEREZ AHMED; Andreas Schuck; COMMUNICATIONS AND NEW MEDIAWe test the mediation hypothesis that consumption of campaign news has the potential to affect political participation, and that this effect can in part be explained by the emotions triggered by such news. Drawing on a two-wave pre- and post-election panel study in Delhi (India) in 2014, we identify significant indirect effects of campaign news on voter participation via anger and hope, but not via fear. Content analysis of newspapers and television news is used to explain the results. The current study fills the important theoretical gap and brings new empirical evidence to the literature on the effects of news consumption in triggering emotions and how this, in turn, mobilizes citizens and whether such mobilization is moderated by religious identity.
