[Air-L] Twitter Research Question

[Theo Plothe]

I'm at the beginnings of a Twitter study looking at a community's
reaction to a televised event. In my literature review, I'm having a
difficult time justifying when to include the community's tweets
chronologically preceding the event and following the event. For those
of you that do content analysis on social media like Twitter, do any
of you have suggestions? The data has already been collected using a
Twitter scraper. I'm just trying to decide right now how to define the
boundaries for my analysis.

Any suggestions or a study you can point to that uses a similar method
will be helpful.

Thanks,

Theo
