• Resumen

  • This article analyses the impact of 'super-participants' – people who create lots of content, set the agenda, or moderate debates – on everyday online political talk in a non-political online discussion forum – or 'third space'. The article finds that there was extensive evidence of super-participation in the forum, and that they did impact the nature of political talk.
