요약The United States (U.S.) is in the midst of a paradigm shift in who creates news. It is widely known that the internet has in the past few decades displaced television and print newspapers as the primary medium where news is consumed. However, the past two decades have also seen a shift in who is communicating the news. People consuming digital news, and especially young people, are now less likely than they were to get their news from journalists or television broadcasters, and more likely to receive it from a nebulous figure commonly referred to as the influencer. People are not only paying more attention to influencers, but there has seemingly been a remarkable growth in the type of and number of influencers in the last decade. This growth has been enabled both by the maturation of new, massively-networked social media platforms and the industrialization of influencing as a profession and an economic infrastructure.In this dissertation, I use quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze case studies of U.S. political discourse networks to better understand the structure, tactics, and consequences of our new era of influencer media. After conducting a literature review of previous work on influencers in political communication and media studies, I propose flexible ways to represent both influencers and what I call influencer communities in social media networks. Influencer communities are assemblages of influencers working cooperatively and antagonistically to earn the attention of networked audiences on large social media platforms. Via four case studies of Twitter discourse in the U.S., each of which presents a new method for understanding influencers' behaviors and organization, I seek to understand how to represent and visualize influencer communities; how to analyze the strategies that influencers pursue within these communities; and how to understand the effects these influencer communities have on political discourse in the United States. I conclude this dissertation with a collection of reflections, most of which concern how characteristics of influencer communities, such as their embeddedness in power relations and their relationship to the "mainstream," structure which strategies influencers within them take.

■520    ▼aThe  United  States  (U.S.)  is  in  the  midst  of  a  paradigm  shift  in  who  creates  news.  It  is  widely  known  that  the  internet  has  in  the  past  few  decades  displaced  television  and  print  newspapers  as  the  primary  medium  where  news  is  consumed.  However,  the  past  two  decades  have  also  seen  a  shift  in  who  is  communicating  the  news.  People  consuming  digital  news,  and  especially  young  people,  are  now  less  likely  than  they  were  to  get  their  news  from  journalists  or  television  broadcasters,  and  more  likely  to  receive  it  from  a  nebulous  figure  commonly  referred  to  as  the  influencer.  People  are  not  only  paying  more  attention  to  influencers,  but  there  has  seemingly  been  a  remarkable  growth  in  the  type  of  and  number  of  influencers  in  the  last  decade.  This  growth  has  been  enabled  both  by  the  maturation  of  new,  massively-networked  social  media  platforms  and  the  industrialization  of  influencing  as  a  profession  and  an  economic  infrastructure.In  this  dissertation,  I  use  quantitative  and  qualitative  methods  to  analyze  case  studies  of  U.S.  political  discourse  networks  to  better  understand  the  structure,  tactics,  and  consequences  of  our  new  era  of  influencer  media.  After  conducting  a  literature  review  of  previous  work  on  influencers  in  political  communication  and  media  studies,  I  propose  flexible  ways  to  represent  both  influencers  and  what  I  call  influencer  communities  in  social  media  networks.  Influencer  communities  are  assemblages  of  influencers  working  cooperatively  and  antagonistically  to  earn  the  attention  of  networked  audiences  on  large  social  media  platforms.  Via  four  case  studies  of  Twitter  discourse  in  the  U.S.,  each  of  which  presents  a  new  method  for  understanding  influencers'  behaviors  and  organization,  I  seek  to  understand  how  to  represent  and  visualize  influencer  communities;  how  to  analyze  the  strategies  that  influencers  pursue  within  these  communities;  and  how  to  understand  the  effects  these  influencer  communities  have  on  political  discourse  in  the  United  States.  I  conclude  this  dissertation  with  a  collection  of  reflections,  most  of  which  concern  how  characteristics  of  influencer  communities,  such  as  their  embeddedness  in  power  relations  and  their  relationship  to  the  "mainstream,"  structure  which  strategies  influencers  within  them  take.
