From the Street to the Ballot Box: How the AfD Divides Digital Labour with a Far-Right Movement on Telegram (Bautzen) — replication package

Replication package for a supply-side study of the far-right communication ecosystem in Landkreis Bautzen (Saxony, Germany): eleven co-located Telegram actors (party, movement, media, personality), 26,735 messages, 2018–2026.
