Yet even as they become more ubiquitous, evidence suggests widely used platforms normalize rather than equalize the existing power dynamics of the political landscape. Our study of New Zealand’s 2017 general election uses a mixed-method approach including analysis of five Party Leaders’ (PLs) public Facebook wall posts, campaign coverage in four newspapers and interviews with Party workers and MPs. Our findings show PLs seldom interact with citizens and mostly use posts to promote campaign information. Citizens are more likely to ‘like’ a PL’s post than share or comment and there are important divergences between Party and media agendas. These findings demonstrate not only the importance of social media for Parties’ attempts to control messaging and disrupt journalistic interference, but also highlight that neither Parties nor citizens seem much invested in dialogue. However, understanding which posts excite citizen engagement may help all Parties more effectively promote participatory democracy globally.Item In their own words: Policy implications from the Wanganui adult literacy and employment research programme(Department of Communication and Journalism, Massey University, 2006) Sligo F; Culligan N; Comrie M; Tilley E; Vaccarino F; Franklin JItem Lifelong literacy: Issues of strategy(Department of Communication, Journalism and Marketing, Massey University, 2007) Sligo F; Watson B; Murray N; Comrie M; Vaccarino F; Tilley EItem Literacy provision and employment: Perspectives of secondary school teachers, employers, and adult literacy practitioners(Department of Communication, Journalism and Marketing, Massey University, 2007) Watson B; Neilson D; Murray N; Dempsey B; Sligo F; Comrie M; Vaccarino FItem Perspectives of adult literacy learners 2004-2006: A report from the adult literacy and employment programme(Department of Communication and Journalism, Massey University, 2006) Tilley E; Comrie M; Watson B; Murray N; Sligo F; Franklin J; Vaccarino FItem Perspectives of Wanganui employers and providers of adult literacy services 2005-2006: A report from the Wanganui adult literacy and employment programme(Department of Communication and Journalism, Massey University, 2006) Neilson D; Culligan N; Watson B; Comrie M; Sligo F; Vaccarino F; Franklin JItem The wider voice: Wanganui community perspectives on adult literacy and employment 2005-2006(Department of Communication and Journalism, Massey University, 2006) Comrie M; Tilley E; Neilson D; Murray N; Sligo F; Vaccarino FItem Tipping points: Nodes of change for adult literacy and employment(Department of Communication and Journalism, Massey University, 2006) Sligo F; Tilley E; Murray N; Comrie M; Vaccarino F; Franklin JItem Voices: First-hand experiences of adult literacy learning and employment in Wanganui(Department of Communication, Journalism and Marketing, Massey University, 2007) Tilley E; Sligo F; Shearer F; Comrie M; Murray N; Franklin J; Vaccarino F; Watson B
