Abstract

We studied the profiles of assembly members on the website of the National Assembly, where we found email addresses, corporate blogs and social media profiles. The presence of the 137 parliamentarians was analysed in terms of the media in which they participate, their number of followers and the frequency of their publications in the period October 2017 - January 2018. Our research focuses on the accounts linked on the website of the National Assembly, because we wished to discover official channels for citizens to contact assembly members.
