Help with researching radical jihadist groups on Telegram and other social media
I'm working on a dissertation proposal on the topic of Jihadist Fanboys/Fangirls: the Role of Social Media and Fandom in Attracting Young Western Audiences to ISIS and Other Radical Groups. The heart of this study will focus on the social media content and networking (via Twitter, Telegram and other networks) of ISIS and other jihadist sympathizers, perhaps outright members and supporters. Since ISIS has been more or less chased off Twitter I've been trying to find and follow their social media activities on Telegram but have had a hard time locating their channels on that platform. I'm writing to see if anyone can provide any guidance on accessing this type of content on Telegram and other social media. Regards, Howard Kramer PhD Candidate DU/Iliff Joint PhD Program in the Study of Religion
Mia Bloom at at Georgia State might be able to help you, or point you to someone who knows. -Robert Sent from my iPhone

Hi Howard, Nico Prucha from the University of Vienna published an article on ISIS' activity on Telegram, which sounds close to what you're looking for: http://www.terrorismanalysts.com/pt/index.php/pot/article/view/556/html Best, Adam On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 9:39 PM, Kramer, Howard <hkramer@iliff.edu> wrote:
