Funded Activity Summary

Sharing News Online: Analysing the Significance of a Social Media Phenomenon. The sharing of news via social media services is now a significant part of mainstream online media use and is an increasingly important consideration in journalism practice and production. This multidisciplinary project aims to be the first in Australia to analyse the scale, scope, forms and implications of online news-sharing on Facebook and Twitter. Using methods from computing science, linguistics and audience research this study aims to develop an analytical framework for monitoring, classifying and interpreting news-sharing practices that can inform media industry development, journalism education and digital media policy.
