[Air-L] social media theory

[Sukaina Ehdeed]

Hi all,
Are there any theories/models related to social media use or political
communication?

I am doing a research in relation to social media use in Libyan revolution
context. My main objectives are:
-To find out how social media has been used among Libyans during the
revolutionary and post-revolutionary period, through conducting
semi-structured interviews and doing content analysis of sample of public
Facebook pages.

-To explore young Libyans’ perception regarding the impact of social media
on their views and attitudes in relation to the revolution and
post-revolutionary period.

Do you have any suggestions? Will be helpful for me if you share your
knowledge.

Thanks,
