Research question

(clear - relevant - feasible)

How do sources (URLs) offered as "proof" or "validation" within vaccination discussion on (danish) Facebook are networked between each other?

Are there main sources for argumentation on the topic?
Which controversies are generated through these sources?
To what degree is it possible to identify their networked publics?

Method(s)

(Cross-media controversy analysis of media sources)

Data Collection:

URLs / media titles containing vaccine-related keywords + Text from selected accounts (snowballed)
URLs from posts and comments from selected (snowballed) accounts

Analysis:

Thematic analysis (of documents/websites)
Controversy Analysis / Issue Mapping (of social media dynamics and networks)

Home-made scraper (or manual collection)
DMI tools https://medialab.sciencespo.fr/en/tools/dmi-tools
MediaLab tools https://medialab.sciencespo.fr/en/tools/

Theory/Concepts

(in-tune with methods and research goals)

Networked Publics / Sociotechnical imaginaries (STS / Social Construction of Technology)
Controversies/Issues (ANT/ STS)
Network analysis - tool criticism (Digital Methods methodological issues)
