Beskrivning

This volume summarizes novel and diverse research methods for both quantitative and qualitative social media journalism-based research.Focusing in turn on the production, contents, and consumption of social media journalism, the authors explore a multitude of methods, from real-life student experiment to content analysis, observations, and literature reviews. Moving beyond the use of social media as journalistic tool for newsgathering and sourcing, and the legitimacy crisis of journalism in the social media age, this book instead shines a spotlight on the potential of social media for news presentation and distribution.The unique methodological focus makes this book an important resource for early-career and experienced scholars alike who want to study the flow of contemporary news content across various social media platforms.
