“…Consistent with framing theory, considerations of the politician personally instigating deception, relative to the journalist necessitating equivocation, were cued by comment sections. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experiment to test framing effects from online comment sections, and our results are consistent with conjectures in prior research about the ability of comments to frame news beyond the issues explicitly raised in web news items (e.g., Clark et al, 2017;Douai & Nofal, 2012;Graham & Wright, 2015).…”

“…In general terms, digital engagement occurs when organisations and stakeholders interact with one another on a SM platform (Yang and Saffer, ). For governments, this implies rapid, two‐way communication in a manner that enables them to be more responsive to citizens, who in turn may feel more empowered (Douai and Nofal, ). For NGOs, this implies building relationships with key stakeholders such as the media and volunteers, making them champions of non‐profit causes and providing physical and reputational support during a crisis (Liu et al, ).…”

“…In this context, Douai and Nofal assert that “YouTube and social media have grown more popular, and gained more legitimacy because they are perceived to be autonomous from their authoritarian states, unlike the mass media landscape” (:269). As a result, Arabs and Muslims around the globe are able to share views and opinions on issues relevant to their regions and religion, including politics, fatwas, and basic guidance.…”
