Abstract / Description of output

How has the digital transformation under way across society affected parliaments? This chapter looks at the communication function with a particular view on social media use and draws for its analysis on two surveys of parliamentary websites across 28 EU member states conducted in 2015 and 2016. After presenting and describing the survey results, the chapter discusses the substantial variation across countries as well as the apparently dynamic development in overall parliamentary digital media use before offering an attempt at explanation focusing on social and political variables.
