Today, we will go over quickly our reading from last night.

We will then begin the process of identifying codes and categories for our analysis of tweets. Hopefully, you are already making good progress with a topic and corpus of tweets related to a hashtag. If you are still fine tuning the initial stages of collecting tweets, you may need to repeat these steps once you have your final spreadsheet in place. We will spend the first five minutes of class making sure everyone has a spreadsheet ready.

Community Discourse Analysis Report

Posted on: Mon, 06/24/2019 - 15:54 By: Daniel Anderson

Submit a report of four to five pages (double spaced, 12pt font) in which you discuss a community by analyzing discourse on Twitter. You should also connect the analysis with a broader concern or topic. You might--for instance--examine discourse linked with the hashtag #antivaxx in terms of vaccine misinformation or religious freedom. The hashtag and topic should resonate with and inform each other. You will use primary and secondary research to support the analysis. You will also provide support by analyzing tweet data associated with the hashtag.
