New Media and Public Opinion During Hard Times: A Case Study of Turkey
Year: 2010
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper presents preliminary results of a project which explores the socio-political consequences of social network sites (SNS). More specifically, the study looks into how a significant segment of Turkish youth utilizes Facebook to form, maintain and manage networks; the nature of the conversation they carry on in the networked space and the implications of such activity for their political socialization process - given the highly polarized, crisis-ridden everyday political culture of the country.
