“…These fields, however, share and overlap at certain borders where interdisciplinary activities constitute fecund intersections [2]. The earliest intersections between geography and communication theory were articulated by scholars who were involved in the study of place names and dialect of geography in the first half of the 1900s [39,80,81,83,84,123].

The study of how space and place intersect with social policy is still nascent but developing rapidly. As two exemplars of the potential that such research offers, the objective of this review is to integrate the research collected during recent studies of fracking and the death penalty. The primary disciplinary value of this review is to demonstrate the spatial value of communication and social media studies. This study adopts a communication-based theoretical framework as a lens to guide methodological choices in analyzing public perceptions. The social media application from Twitter is used as the engine to capture opinions of social media users engaging public controversies. This review locates connections in the literature between geographers/spatial scientists and communication media theorists.
