Join us on the #aBitOfCCS Podcast as we dive into political agenda-setting with Daniel Sandvej Eriksen, Post-Doc at the University of Aarhus, Department of Political Science.
In this episode, we discuss Daniel’s latest research, "Initiate and Elevate! How Political Parties Can Set an Agenda." His study introduces The Issue Initiation Model, which explains how political parties proactively shape discussions . . Using computational methods, Daniel analyzes over 5.5 million tweets and 750,000 news articles from the UK and Denmark (2015-2022) to uncover how parties and MPs strategically set the agenda.
Hosted by Jana Bernhard-Harrer, this episode explores the intersection of computational social science and political communication, revealing how digital traces help us understand political strategy.
