Dear Socnetters,

I am interested in the role of social media & social networking sites in 
civic activism (rather than in electoral politics, though the border is 
admittedly fluid). I try to figure out how social media  such as 
Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are being used by social movements, 
protests and contentious action around the globe.

A while ago I asked the list members to send me references concerning 
this topic and promised to publish the results of my inquiry through 
this list. I got very few replies but compiled a list of references 
anyhow. You will find it at the following address:

http://www.mv.helsinki.fi/lonkila/SNS_and_activism_23032012.docx

When browsing through the list please note:
- The list is by no means complete and may also contain ‘irrelevant’ 
references
- I haven’t had time to check the correctness/ completeness of the 
references or links
- The list may also contain non-scientific journals

I hope that it will be of use to someone... Greetings to all socnetters 
from sunny Helsinki!

with best regards (and my warmest thanks to those who replied)

Markku Lonkila
