The relationship between social media use and political engagement continues to evolve. Individuals can use these media to connect with politics in a variety of ways, and scholars have attempted to understand if doing so matters for democracy. Overall, this research suggests that political uses of social media have positive effects on participatory politics. However, scholars have discovered relatively little about arguably the most important characteristic of social media: the online social network. The current study builds on this large body of research by examining the interplay between motivations for using social media, attention to news media, individuals' social media networks, political attitudes, social media use for political expression, and offline political engagement. To address this phenomenon, I survey a sample of United States citizens shortly after the 2012 U.S. General Elections.

520 $a The relationship between social media use and political engagement continues to evolve. Individuals can use these media to connect with politics in a variety of ways, and scholars have attempted to understand if doing so matters for democracy. Overall, this research suggests that political uses of social media have positive effects on participatory politics. However, scholars have discovered relatively little about arguably the most important characteristic of social media: the online social network. The current study builds on this large body of research by examining the interplay between motivations for using social media, attention to news media, individuals' social media networks, political attitudes, social media use for political expression, and offline political engagement. To address this phenomenon, I survey a sample of United States citizens shortly after the 2012 U.S. General Elections.
520 $a First, the study examines the motivations for using social media and its relationship with attention to online news. Second, the study tests the role individuals' social media networks play in their own political expression on social media. Next, I demonstrate the relationships between political expression on social media and attitudes about politics. Finally, I culminate the study by examining the extent to which these variables relate to offline political participation and voting. Doing so provides a glimpse into the processes by which people use social media politically to facilitate their general political engagement.
520 $a The study's results suggest that although attention to information via traditional news media still matters for political engagement, certain people use social media to engage with politics, and their online social networks play a larger role in encouraging their political expression on these sites. However, individuals' own political expression on social media likely mediates the relationship between their online social networks' political expression and offline political engagement.
