Mediatized Witnessing and the Ethical Imperative of Capture

Sasha A Q Scott (Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom)

This article explores these issues through the witnessing of public death events: those shocking, exceptional and morally significant deaths that

become ‘public' through their mediation, observing that the continuous and contiguous production and consumption of media content has given rise

to new performative rituals of local witnessing for (potentially) global audiences.

Rosa Borge Bravo (Open University of Catalonia, Department of Law and Political Science, Barcelona, Spain),

Marc Esteve Del Valle (University of Groningen, Department of Media Studies and Journalism, Groningen, Netherlands)


Use of social media by political parties has become a part of their communication strategies. In Catalonia, where around 20% of

Internet users obtain political information through Facebook and Twitter, parties use these channels widely. This article has

examined 814 posts, 5,772 comments, 52,470 likes and 25,907 shares from the official Facebook pages of Catalan parties in order to

ascertain the relevance of the classical party characteristics (party size, level of institutionalization, centralization of decision-making,

position at the ideological cleavages) on how parties and their followers behave on Facebook.
