Almost simultaneously, however, there was also #JeNeSuisPasCharlie explicitly countering the former, affirmative hashtag. Based on a multimethod analysis of 74,047 tweets c…

In South Korea, the oligopoly of three conservative media conglomerates, popularly dubbed Chojoongdong, has been identified as a hindrance to the country’s democratic consolidation. This issue came to the fore during the mass candlelight protests in Seoul in 2008 against the then newly elected conservative government’s resumption of American beef imports despite public concern over the credibility of US food regulation. Born out of the beef prote…

By examining a case study of the 2007 presidential primaries of the Grand National Party (GNP), the largest opposition party in the South Korean N…
Internet Election 2.0? Culture, Institutions, and Technology in the Korean Presidential Elections of 2002 and 2007

This article first examines how the former president of South Korea, Roh Moo-Hyun, and his supporters appropriated online technology to counterbalance the effects of the existing mass media and political elite during th…
