Existing measures of party issue agendas, with exception of the PARTYPRESS dataset, rely largely on manifestos, which are tied to election cycles. Social media offers a more continuous, immediate, and high-frequency record of party communication at scale.
New OSF preprint with @luissattelmayer.bsky.social 🦋: "Issue Competition on Social Media. A new comparative dataset on parties' issue agendas in 18 countries."
We introduce a dataset of party issue agendas built from 4.6M social media posts across Twitter/Facebook/Instagram, covering 219 parties.
