The Green Web: Evaluating Online News Communities And Their Environmentalism, Stian Himberg Roussell

This study was conducted in order to better understand how crowdsourced social media platforms affect users’ perception of environmental topics, issues, and problems. It focuses on the crowdsourced social media …
