Beyond the Black Box: A Multimodal Approach to Understanding In-App Communication
Mobile devices are increasingly central as sources of up-to-date information, making the precise recording of information behavior on these devices more relevant for research.

Based on two case studies, we present two approaches that enable the identification of exposure to rel…
Activists Preserving the (Multi-Platform) Environment: Advocacy Coalitions of #Lützerath Climate Protests
Digital platforms intertwine the offline and online spheres of climate activism, as seen in the anti-coal demonstration in the German village of Lützerath.

We find conspiratorial thinking and pr…
