* Focuses on the actual application of qualitative methods to using
social media in research and shows how to do this through case
studies and step by step guidance * Pedagogical material including
chapter summaries, suggested reading, key terms glossary, and icons
to highlight key points (case studies, dos and don'ts) * Covers
established platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Youtube as well
as more alternative types of social media
This volume provides a critical view of the nature and quality of
political and civic communication on Twitter. The introduction lays
out the current state of research, showing the continuum of views,
from the more optimistic to more pessimistic, regarding the
platform's potential to facilitate civic conversations. The eleven
empirical case studies in the book provide new insights, addressing
a variety of topics through a diverse array of methodological
approaches. Together, the chapters provide a counter position to
recent studies that offer more celebratory assessments of Twitter's
potential. The book draws attention to the chaotic, insular,
uncivil, and emotionally charged nature of debate and communication
on Twitter.

Discourse and Social Media is a unique and timely collection that
breaks ground on how discourse scholars, coming from a range of
disciplinary perspectives, can critically analyse different social
media, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and News. The book
fills a gap in the market for a multi-disciplinary collection for
analysing the discourse of social media. In providing a thorough
review of the field to date, the opening chapter considers some of
the common and divergent interests and priorities that exist in
social media discourse analysis. It also discusses the wider
methodological and theoretical implications which social media
analysis brings to the process of discourse analysis, as new forms
of connections and communication call us to re-think the static
models that we have been using. The rest of the collection draws on
different traditions in discourse studies, including Critical
Discourse Analysis, Sociolinguistics, Pragmatics, Foucaultian
analysis and Multimodality, to bring several unique approaches to
critically analysing social media from a discourse perspective.
Each ground-breaking chapter shows how different forms of social
media data can best be selected, analysed, and dealt with
critically. As a whole, Discourse and Social Media provides a go-to
resource for social media scholars, as well as graduate students.
The book is a significant contribution to the development of the
field at this present shifting time. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Multicultural
Discourses.
