论文摘要
作为政治媒介,YouTube扮演着越来越重要的角色。然而,由于访问YouTube的统计数据是有限的,因此,迄今为止的含义尚未得到充分理解和难以分析。为了解决这一差距,我们调查了124个人围绕YouTube的政治影响力的观点和经验。我们的结果揭示了对YouTube日益增长的政治角色的多样化,有时是矛盾的观点,并强调了对更多的研究,讨论以及可能的监管的需求。
YouTube plays an ever more important role as a political medium. Yet, the implications are to-date not well understood and difficult to analyse, since access to YouTube's statistics is limited. To address this gap, we surveyed 124 people about their views and experiences around YouTube's political influence. Our results revealed diverse, sometimes conflicting views on YouTube's growing political role, and highlight the need for more research, discussion and possibly regulation.
