Abstract

Everyday political talk, a significant type of political participation, is an important democratic activity. In this regard, the primary objective of this paper is to investigate the level of justification and knowledge in Indonesians’ informal political talk on Facebook. While previous studies addressed different aspects of informal political discussions such as their impact on political knowledge, influence on public opinion expression and relationship with news media use, they do not provide guidelines for analysing the modality of them. This study proposes an analytical framework for examining the users’ level of justification and knowledge. A qualitative content analysis reveals that only a small number of comments had a high level of justification and knowledge. In addition, some indications of the influence of Indonesian mainstream news media content were found on people’s arguments in discussions.

证明和知识

日常政治谈话是一种重要的政治参与形式，也是一项重要的民主活动。在这方面，本文的主要目的是调查印尼人在脸书上的非正式政治谈话的正当性和知识水平。虽然以前的研究涉及非正式政治讨论的不同方面，如对政治知识的影响、对舆论表达的影响以及与新闻媒体使用的关系，但它们没有提供分析非正式政治讨论形式的指导方针。本研究提出了一个分析框架，用于检查用户的理由和知识水平。定性内容分析显示，只有少数评论具有较高的理由和知识水平。此外，人们在讨论中的论点也显示出印尼主流新闻媒体内容的影响。
