The power of adaption : A qualitative study on politicians communication strategies online (English)
Abstract [en]

In a time of rapidly changing media landscapes and increased digitalization, the political arena has become dependent on social media. The study examines how the Moderates and the Sweden Democrats adapt their messages on different platforms and what strategies lie behind their communication. Social media enables effective dissemination of information and participation but also requires political actors to adapt their content to the logic of the platform and depending on voters' behaviour on the media. The purpose of the study is to analyze how the mentioned parties use methods to reach out to their voters and what roles visual elements and target group adaptation play in the process. The study's results are based on six qualitative interviews with politicians who represent the parties mentioned. The results show that strategies and messages are adapted by the parties considering the interest of the target groups, age and the characteristics of the platforms. With the help of medialization theory, segmentation and brand theory as well as previous research, the study's empirical data is analyzed.

Abstract [sv]

I en tid av snabbt förändrade medielandskap och ökad digitalisering har den politiska arenan blivit beroende av sociala medier. Studien undersöker hur Moderaterna och Sverigedemokraterna anpassar sina budskap på olika plattformar och vilka strategier som ligger bakom deras kommunikation. Sociala medier möjliggör effektiv informationsspridning och deltagande, men ställer krav på att politiska aktörer anpassar sitt innehåll efter den logik som plattformen har och beroende på väljarnas beteende på sociala medier. Syftet med studien är att analysera hur nämnda partier använder metoder för att nå ut till sina väljare och vilka roller visuella element och målgruppsanpassning spelar i processen. Studiens resultat utgår från sex kvalitativa intervjuer med politiker som representerar de nämnda partierna. Resultatet visar att strategier och budskap anpassas av partierna med hänsyn till målgruppernas intresse, ålder och plattformarnas egenskaper. Med hjälp av medialiseringsteorin, segmentering och varumärkesteorin samt tidigare forskning analyseras studiens empiri.
