Abstract
Do political journalists deviate from their role as objective observers on Twitter? This study addresses this relevant question for democratic theory by means of an international comparative framing analysis on Twitter in Germany and Austria. Its results are based on a quantitative content analysis and are supplemented by guided interviews with political journalists. These results show that journalistic objectivity and neutrality are still apparent on both sides of the Alps, but journalists on Twitter also deviate from the criteria of objective journalism and disseminate opinion-based information. The study also complements research on political scandals.
