摘要
We examine the use of Twitter and Facebook by the Munich police department to analyze their actions and the reactions of the public community who follow them during routine and emergency situations. We explain usage patterns based upon media dependency theory, and demonstrate the range of dissemination strategies they adopt in various settings. This case comprises an early study of the social media use in the German context, and results in the identification of the importance of a critical incident in subsequent social media activity within the police department.
