Platform companies attracted huge ammount of money, allowing for a while to solve the problem of investment and supporting the financial market. The basis of this economic model is network effects produced by the integrated digital infrastructure, which contribute to monopolization and the constant expansion of platform companies in new areas. The principle of functioning of this infrastructure is the constant collection and further monetization of data extracted from the interactions of individuals with each other or with one of the elements of a digital economy or governance structures. This paper is devoted to the analysis of the logic of the emergence of “platform capitalism” as an effect of structural contradictions of neoliberalism (financialization, permanent market instability). The paper focuses on the transformation of the advertising market under the influence of platform companies, using the US example, to show the mechanism of digital disruption in print media business model. The development of digital infrastructure has allowed platform companies to collect and monetize data, deliver personalized ads to users throughout the internet. A structural shift has occurred - traditional media have ceased to be the main channels for transmitting advertising messages to certain social groups, advertising platforms are able to find them and deliver them ads on their own. In the framework of “platform capitalism”, many print media in order to survive try to transform themselves in accordance with the logic of the economic platform model (developing their website, data collection and monetization, integration into the logic of social networks).","PeriodicalId":337761,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Communication Strategies in Digital Society Seminar (ComSDS)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122015598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper focuses on the growing adoption of social networking sites by politicians in an attempt to foster better communication with the public. To examine the use of social networking platforms in political communication the comparative analysis of Twitter accounts of three Russian and three British politicians was carried out against the theoretical background of mediatization of politics. The concept of “mediatization” presupposes a social change process in which media have become increasingly influential and deeply integrated into different spheres of society. Politics is not an exception. At present social networking platforms are transforming people’s engagement with politics and make politicians more open to the public. In the course of research both quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The results address three areas: format and frequency of social networking use by politicians for sharing information with the public, perceived effectiveness of social networking tools for communication of politicians with the public, and the degree of interaction of politicians with the public. The results show that politicians rely on responsiveness, interactivity and engagement to involve users into political process. The results also indicate that Russian politicians use fewer multimedia tools than British ones and are more reserved in expressing their ideas. British users are more active than Russian ones and are always ready to take part in political discussions. This can be accounted for by, at least, two factors. One of them is a long tradition of participatory democracy in Great Britain which presupposes open discussions of political issues aimed at achieving rationally motivated consensus. The other –a high level of online activity of British politicians. Findings can help PR-practitioners to improve the use of social networking sites by Russian politicians to increase the impact of political communication on the public.","PeriodicalId":337761,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Communication Strategies in Digital Society Seminar (ComSDS)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127871447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
