Decoupled agendas under repression: Social media and state media during Covid-19 in Iran
Despite a growing body of research on intermedia agenda-setting (IAS) in the contemporary hybrid media landscape, this line of inquiry remains mainly Western-centered. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies across different social platforms and between social media and official online media in authoritarian regimes. We combined computational, quantitative, qualitative, and discursive methods to address these gaps by investigating intermedia agen…
Computational vs. qualitative: Analyzing different approaches in identifying networked frames during the Covid-19 crisis
Despite the increasing adaption of automated text analysis in communication studies, its strengths and weaknesses in framing analysis are so far unknown. Fewer efforts have been made to automatic detection of networked frames. Drawing on the recent developments in this field, we harness a comparative exploration, using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and a human-driven qualitative coding process on three different samples. Samples were comprise…
Bots Versus Humans: Discursive Activism During the Pandemic in the Iranian Twittersphere
This article explores how the pandemic in Iran was discursively framed by automated accounts and human users. While there is a growing body of literature on bot activism, little is known about how bots and humans framed the pandemic in authoritarian regimes. Drawing on networked framing theory, we use both computational and qualitative methods to fill this gap. Our empirical analysis centers on a data set of 4,165,177 tweets collected between 27 …
