Abstract Details
The advent of Web 2.0 has radically changed the media environment, the types of content the public is exposed to as well as the exposure process itself. There is a wider range of options (from social and traditional media), new patterns of exposure (socially mediated and selective), and alternate modes of content production (e.g. user-generated content). The session introduces, EXPONet is a 3-year ESRC/NCRM project that bridges recent advances in the literature on statistical networks with advances in automated text analysis of media content to study media exposure and Prof Lazer presents tools for analysis.
