Taylor's Method 3: Content Analysis

by
Taylor Draper

When conducting Method 3, I focused on journalist OR report OR reporter OR media, from August 7, 2014 until January 1, 2015. I chose this filter in order to produce my sample because I was interested in seeing how journalists, reporters, and activists were using Twitter during the first few months of Ferguson. My codes were "quoting someone else" and "provides location." I chose these codes because I was interested in seeing why journalists, reporters, and activists were tweeting about locations, and what they were saying about other people's statements or tweets.
