We study who has the power to influence the rhetorical style (moral and moral-emotional appeals) of political and public discourse on social media. Unlike other research on agenda setting, we do not examine who has the power to set the topic of the debate but focus on the tone

🚨 Happy to have this study (with @kristinabsimonsen.bsky.social@psrm.bsky.social I think it is a timely paper on how (radical-right) politicians and parties can use moral-emotional appeals to set the 'tone' of public debate -> focusing on the immigration debate in Germany. 👇
