What to Expect When the Unexpected Happens: Social Media Communications Across Crises
3 likes3,165 views
The document explores the differences and similarities in Twitter communications during various crisis events, categorizing them based on crisis dimensions such as type, temporality, and geographical dimensions. An analytical framework is employed to assess content types and sources of information from a range of crises, including natural disasters and human-induced events. Data from approximately 130 million tweets is analyzed to understand the dynamics of social media communication in crisis situations, examining aspects like informativeness, source credibility, and the nature of information shared.
