All the selected hashtags are either official (e.g. advertised on the official Twitter channel of the program or during the TV show) or the most frequently used hashtag related to one of the eleven political talk shows aired by the Italian free-to-air broadcasters during season 2012/2013.<br>The dataset was acquired via DiscoverText GNIP importer.
