“…The result of the research is in line with the function of social media, which enable the users to create content and connect with other users (Blank and Reisdorf, 2012). Users can use the feature they have, to document and share information about the disaster, even when professional media and journalist are not in that event (Meikle and Redden, 2011). This research also conirms the inding of Alexander (2014), that social media can be used to monitor disaster situation.…”

Social media allows people in the disaster area to communicate disaster information, to the people outside the disaster area, more quickly and accurately. Unfortunately, there are limited researches that examine the use of Twiter by people in the disaster sites. This study aims to explore the use of Twiter by users in the disaster-afected areas. We use the feature of twiter geolocation, to separate information from inside and outside the disaster site. This research gives depiction about communication behavior of people in the afected disaster area, through social media. The result showed that people in disaster location use twiter to give irst-hand report, coordinate rescue efort, provide help and express grief. In addition, by focusing on the afected area, Twiter used by lay people is usually found rather than other users. From the segment of time, the researcher inds a number of tweets that will increase each day. Users will share more information the days after rather, than the day of disaster. In practical term, this research explores the used of social media by the victims of disaster, which can encourage efective communication to people or group outside the location; theoretically, this research gives more detail understanding about shared information from the people in the disaster place.

“…The use of social media via mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablets may be particularly helpful during a disaster that occurs without warning or in a remote location. This is because these devices may be used by citizens who are able to document and share information about events as they unfold, even in the absence of professional news organisations and journalists (Meikle and Redden, 2011).…”

Social media and disasters: a functional framework for social media use in disaster planning, response, and research

A comprehensive review of online, official, and scientific literature was carried out in 2012-13 to develop a framework of disaster social media. This framework can be used to facilitate the creation of disaster social media tools, the formulation of disaster social media implementation processes, and the scientific study of disaster social media effects. Disaster social media users in the framework include communities, government, individuals, organisations, and media outlets. Fifteen distinct disaster social media uses were identified, ranging from preparing and receiving disaster preparedness information and warnings and signalling and detecting disasters prior to an event to (re)connecting community members following a disaster. The framework illustrates that a variety of entities may utilise and produce disaster social media content. Consequently, disaster social media use can be conceptualised as occurring at a number of levels, even within the same disaster. Suggestions are provided on how the proposed framework can inform future disaster social media development and research.

“…News in today's world is confronted with myriad conceptual challenges that are not easily understood within the traditional frameworks of professional news and journalism (Allan, ; Rantanen, ; Meikle & Redden, ). Globalization, mobility, connectedness, and the development of communication technologies create novel challenges to news media and journalism research regarding the definition and analysis of news today.…”

“…Furthermore, when anthropologists have discussed new media and YouTube, the research focus has not typically been on news, but rather on users and prosumers of YouTube and other virtual sites, such as Second Life (see e.g., Boellstorff, ; Lange, ). On the other hand, studies on new media conducted by other groups of journalism and news scholars have placed more emphasis on research on blogs and Twitter, both of which have been more clearly perceived as media that are effectively suited for transmitting news‐type information (Crawford, ; Kwak, Lee, Park, & Moon, ; Meikle & Redden, ). But, as Katherine Fry argued, YouTube also functions as a news medium and by doing so, it participates in shaping contemporary global journalism.…”

In this article, YouTube is examined as an evolving news medium in the context of global journalism. The article examines what the news is made of and YouTube's distinctive features as an emerging news culture and style. The article is based on netnography, in which the construction and circulation of a news story have been tracked by tracing the so‐called “flotilla” news event. It is found that YouTube promotes visually motivated, amateur‐driven news culture that alters the truth claims of news and the professional hegemony of news making, and affects the ways in which we, as the audience, maintain relations with professional news institutions, people, places, and practices related to news making and the globalized world beyond “our own.”
