A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words; Scratch That, Just 24 Words

For my third Methods assignment I wanted to look at how activists use images on Twitter compared to how journalist use them.

In order to conduct this research I used the search terms and filters to limit my data field creating a more manageable data field. I limited my tweets to those featuring images during the first month after the shooting.
