A Network Analysis of Conversational Readers on Zim Online Media.

      Аннотация: This book presents a network analysis of Zimbabweans on political and economic online news forums. It presents the intriguing political conversations that have unbounded freedom of expression pertaining the political and economic situation in Zimbabwe. Citizens both in the country and outside mobilize on public online forums to criticize, argue and discuss political issues published by the media. This shows that the online platforms have become an alternative public sphere for many Zimbabweans whose freedom of expression is curtailed in a repressive political system.
