The Role of Geography Space and Place in Social Media Communication: Two Case Studies of Policy Perspectives

Abstract Details

2019, PHD, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Geography.
The study of how space and place in geography intersect with social policy is still nascent but developing rapidly. As two exemplars of the potential that such research proffers, the objective of this research is to integrate the research collected during recent studies of fracking and the death penalty. The primary disciplinary value of this review is to demonstrate the spatial value of communication and social media studies. This study adopted a communication-based theoretical framework as a lens to guide methodological choices in analyzing public perceptions. The social media application from Twitter was used as the engine to capture opinions of social media users engaging public controversies. This review locates connections in the literature between geographers/spatial scientists and communication media theorists.
