The article is an analysis of the monitoring of activities of candidates from the Electoral Committee of the German Minority (KWW Mniejszość Niemiecka) on Facebook and Instagram during the campaign for the Polish parliamentary elections in 2023. The aim of the study was to verify the following hypotheses: Social media (Facebook and Instagram) constitute an important element of communication in the electoral competition process, serving candidates at the electoral district level to present their own platforms. Social media (Facebook and Instagram) are significant tools for electoral mobilization utilized by candidates at the electoral district level. The starting point is a consideration of the first “Internet” campaigns in the United States. The study’s results are combined with a discussion that relates them to the most important mechanisms described in the literature (including echo chambers and filter bubbles) on which social media algorithms are based.

This paper explores the cultural, historical, and social significance of the 1977 ABC miniseries Roots. Based on Alex Haley’s acclaimed yet controversial book, the series recounts the generational saga of Kunta Kinte, a Mandinka warrior enslaved and brought to America, and his descendants. Employing a qualitative case study methodology, the study analyzes the series’ content, critical reception, and its profound influence on racial discourse, historical awareness, and television as a medium. Roots pioneered new standards for American television, introducing complex African American protagonists and addressing slavery with unprecedented realism. The series captivated audiences, becoming a cultural phenomenon that garnered record-breaking viewership, critical acclaim, and public discussion. Its impact extended beyond television, fostering interest in African American genealogy, shaping public memory of slavery, and inspiring global cultural references. While debates persist over its historical accuracy and long-term societal effects, Roots remains a cornerstone of American media history, symbolizing resilience, identity, and the enduring legacy of systemic injustice.

The sequential explanatory design is one of the possible procedures for implementing mixed methods research. Within one study, both quantitative and qualitative approaches are used, but the collection and analysis of data in the quantitative phase precede the collection and analysis of data in the qualitative phase. The scheme is presented from the perspective of media studies and political science, using the example of researching digitized voters-users. The main goal of the article is to provide a methodological reflection on the sequential explanatory design and indicate the procedure, possibilities, and benefits of its use. Crucial methodological challenges that accompany the research process have been identified, focusing on topics such as the role of the researcher, the preparation of the study, and its course. The ethical aspect of the conducted research is highlighted. The article also presents several recommendations for researchers implementing the sequential explanatory design.
