Looking at social concerns through the lens of critical communication theories. Media technologies extend the voice of the individual. Spaces (who can occupy this space, who can protest, who can have their voices heard?) Media (mainstream, alternative, resistive - how does media and spaces impact and change each other?) Trolling (outrageous comments aimed at getting a reaction, distracting from what goes on behind the scenes) Lies (lies become normalized, trolling as a source of entertainment, stop being resistive as it becomes acceptable?)
