Hi Sukaina, You may be interested in the work of Paolo Gerbaudo, who is working on very similar topics... http://www.tweetsandthestreets.org/ and http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/cmci/people/academic/gerbaudo/index.aspx Best, Stijn Peeters PhD student, Ego-Media project King’s College London http://www.stijnpeeters.nl [http://www.stijnpeeters.nl/] http://www.ego-media.org [http://www.ego-media.org/] Op 18-4-2016 00:00:11, Sukaina Ehdeed <smtehdeed1@sheffield.ac.uk> schreef: Hi all, Are there any theories/models related to social media use or political communication? I am doing a research in relation to social media use in Libyan revolution context. My main objectives are: -To find out how social media has been used among Libyans during the revolutionary and post-revolutionary period, through conducting semi-structured interviews and doing content analysis of sample of public Facebook pages. -To explore young Libyans’ perception regarding the impact of social media on their views and attitudes in relation to the revolution and post-revolutionary period. Do you have any suggestions? Will be helpful for me if you share your knowledge.
