Since the mid-2010s, social media have become an integral part of political communication. Notable political leaders like former president Donald Trump in the United States and current president Nayib Bukele in El Salvador garner much of their popular support through online communication platforms. Collective action campaigns like the 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline protests gather global social support with hashtag activism on networks like Facebook and Twitter. Social media incorporate a greater diversity of actors into the political communication system. At the same time, social media exacerbate preexisting challenges for media, especially in the relationship or nexus between journalists and political leaders. While the social media dynamic in political communication captivates current literature, most studies still concentrate on the Global North. Therefore, this dissertation project concentrates on the emerging focus on Latin America through a lens spanning the United States to the Central American sub-region. Analysis centers on the role of social media in influencing political news agendas using mixed qualitative methods between three papers. The first paper employs content analysis of news articles and social media posts about the Dakota Access Pipeline protests during the 2016 presidential election in the United States. The paper highlights the emergence of a media boomerang effect on the news agenda from social media by small, independent journalists and underlines the persisting mainstream dominance in political news. The second and third papers utilize semi-structured interviews with political journalists in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. The second paper looks at the role of social media in Central American media systems. The analysis confirms the continuation of mainstream media dominance in the named periphery countries while at the same time indicating that social media provide greater opportunities with fewer economic constraints for small, independent watchdog journalists. The third paper draws on implications from the second, analyzing journalists' perspectives on the effect social media have on the leader-journalist nexus. The paper reveals that journalists perceive that political leader social media use exacerbates violence against the press and undermines watchdog tendencies. These findings from the multi-regional analysis demonstrate that though social media contribute to the emergence of a media boomerang effect in the news agenda, the responding use of social media by political leaders destabilizes the journalist-leader nexus. The research illuminates the pros and cons of social media use in political communication, exposing the potential darkness for the future of democratic institutions in strong and weak democracies, alike.

520 $a Desde mediados de la decada de 2010, las redes sociales se han convertido en una parte integral de la comunicacion politica. Lideres politicos notables como el expresidente Donald Trump en los Estados Unidos y el actual presidente Nayib Bukele en El Salvador obtienen gran parte de su apoyo popular a traves de plataformas de comunicacion en linea. Campanas de accion colectiva como las protestas del oleoducto Dakota Access de 2016 reunen apoyo social global con activismo de hashtags en redes como Facebook y Twitter. Las redes sociales incorporan una mayor diversidad de actores al sistema de comunicacion politica. Al mismo tiempo, las redes sociales exacerban desafios preexistentes para los medios, especialmente en la relacion o nexo entre periodistas y lideres politicos. Si bien la dinamica de las redes sociales en la comunicacion politica cautiva la literatura actual, la mayoria de los estudios aun se concentran en el Norte Global. Por lo tanto, este proyecto de tesis se concentra en el enfoque emergente en America Latina a traves de una lente que abarca desde los Estados Unidos hasta la subregion de America Central. El analisis se centra en el papel de las redes sociales para influir en las agendas de noticias politicas utilizando metodos cualitativos mixtos entre tres articulos. El primer documento emplea el analisis de contenido de articulos de noticias y publicaciones en redes sociales sobre las protestas del oleoducto Dakota Access durante las elecciones presidenciales de 2016 en los Estados Unidos. El documento destaca el surgimiento de un efecto boomerang mediatico en la agenda de noticias de las redes sociales por parte de pequenos periodistas independientes y subraya el dominio persistente de la corriente principal en las noticias politicas. El segundo y tercer articulo utilizan entrevistas semiestructuradas con periodistas politicos en Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala y Nicaragua. El segundo documento analiza el papel de las redes sociales en los sistemas de medios centroamericanos. El analisis confirma la continuacion del dominio de los principales medios de comunicacion en los paises perifericos mencionados y, al mismo tiempo, indica que las redes sociales brindan mayores oportunidades con menos restricciones economicas para los pequenos e independientes periodistas de vigilancia. El tercer articulo se basa en las implicaciones del segundo, analizando las perspectivas de los periodistas sobre el efecto que tienen las redes sociales en el nexo lider-periodista. El documento revela que los periodistas perciben que el uso de las redes sociales por parte de los lideres politicos exacerba la violencia contra la prensa y socava las tendencias de vigilancia. Estos hallazgos del analisis multirregional demuestran que, si bien las redes sociales contribuyen al surgimiento de un efecto boomerang mediatico en la agenda de noticias, el uso de las redes sociales por parte de los lideres politicos en respuesta desestabiliza el nexo periodista-lider. La investigacion ilumina los aspectos positivos y negativos del uso de las redes sociales en la comunicacion politica, exponiendo la oscuridad potencial para el futuro de las instituciones democraticas en democracias fuertes y debiles por igual.
