In unserer Presseschau blicken wir auf eine debattenreiche Woche zurück. Der Blogger Sascha Lobo fühlt sich auf einmal gekränkt und tritt eine breite Debatte los. Stehen Internet und Politik vielleicht in einem engeren Zusammenhang, als wir alle dachten? Ist nur das Internet kaputt oder ist sogar unsere Demokratie in Gefahr? Warum spielt die CSU einen „digitalen Doppelpass“ in den eigenen Reihen, so als spielte sie das Endspiel gegen die Piraten? Hat das Internet also nun positive Effekte, bei der Verwaltung, der Regierung oder der Diskussion politischer Themen oder ist es der negative Alleszermalmer unserer Gesellschaft? Vielleicht wird das Internet in anderen Teilen der Welt noch als nützliches Instrument und weitaus positiver als hierzulande gesehen.

ANN ARBOR — What started as a politically liberal Facebook meme in support of health care reform morphed as it spread across the social network into hundreds of thousands of variations—some just a few words from the original, but others centered on taxes, beer, or Star Wars’ villain Jabba the Hutt.

The twists on the original text over time in many ways mirrored the evolution of biological genes, researchers from the University of Michigan and Facebook have found. (more…)

Bundestagsabgeordnete, die mit ihren Smartphones im Plenarsaal sitzen und ihre Meinung zu dem Gesagten noch während der Sitzung twittern, sind zum Alltag geworden in der deutschen Politik. Im Gespräch mit dem Politik- und Digitalberater Martin Fuchs wird deutlich, wie dieser Trend die politische Debatte beeinflusst und wie die demokratische Meinungsbildung durch soziale Medien profitieren kann – wenn sie ernst genommen werden.

politik-digital.de: Social Media sind im politischen Alltag der Bundesrepublik angekommen. Wie sind die Entwicklungen in der jüngeren Vergangenheit zu bewerten?

Martin Fuchs: Diese Entwicklung steht eng im Zusammenhang mit der sich verbessernden Verbreitung des Internetzugangs. Auf dieser Grundlage haben soziale Netzwerke eine größere Reichweite erhalten. Darin sehen die Politiker ein großes Potential, ihr Metier wieder attraktiv zu machen. Zum einen nutzen sie diese Plattformen dafür, um ihre Meinungen zu verbreiten. So tritt der Abgeordnete in direkten Kontakt zu den Bürgern, was den politischen Diskurs positiv beeinflusst. Zum anderen sind diese aber auch eine Möglichkeit, um Meinungsforschung zu betreiben. Allerdings ist es zeit- und auch kostenintensiv, zum Beispiel wenn Personal für diese Aufgaben eingestellt werden muss. (more…)
