- Additional information
- This paper provides a novel method for making sense of online comments on news stories and applies this to understand how an important public health topic is discussed on the Guardian website. ‘Below the line’ comments on online news platforms are a relatively under-researched topic and the paper also takes an unusual qualitative frame-analytic approach coupled with computational techniques. The paper contributes to several disciplines: social computing, media and communications, and online health studies and has been cited by researchers interested in both the applied context and its methods.
