The Mediatization of E-Campaigning
The rise of e-campaigning is often associated with its ability to circumvent journalistic principles of news selection and presentation. By this, parties and candidates are said to free themselves from the discretionary power of the mass media and to reach voters in an unfiltered way. This conventional wisdom is tested through a comparative content analysis of German party websites in state, national, and European parliamentary elections between …
Informing, engaging, mobilizing or interacting
This study presents data from content analyses of the websites of all parties that stood in the 2009 European parliamentary elections in France, Germany, Great Britain and Poland. It cross-nationally examines the main functions of the websites, the adoption of Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 features, and the political and cultural factors that determine parties’ online communication. The findings show that while the main website function varies across count…
Normalization 2.0
This article examines the functional, relational and discursive dimensions of the normalization thesis in one study, for both Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 features, in a longitudinal design.

The results show that the normalization thesis holds true in all its dimensions over time and in the Web 2.0 era: parties still focu…

Is negative campaigning on the internet an American phenomenon or an international trend? To explore this question, this article compares the use of attacks on German party websites in two state elections, one federal election and one election to the European parliament with recent American evidence. The results show that virtual mudslinging has affected German e-campaigns at all levels of the political system, with patterns similar to those foun…
Innovation or Normalization in E-Campaigning
■ Scholars have seldom tested the innovation and normalization paradigm of e-campaigning over time. Particularly outside the US, there is a lack of comparative analyses of candidate or party websites that deal with the concept's temporal validity and scope. The article addresses this research gap through a longitudinal content and structural analysis of German party websites in the 2002 and 2005 national elections. The results provide empirical e…
Election Campaigning Online
This article presents an integrated quantitative analysis of the functional, formal and content-related aspects of German political party websites during the 2002 National Elections. The analysis is guided by the normalization hypothesis of cyberspace, which infers a transfer of ‘real-world’ features of politics to the Internet. Results provide empirical evidence of a limited normalization in German e-campaigning: indeed, German party websites pr…
