 | This month: September 2013 Effects of gender and tie strength on Twitter interactions This paper examines the connection between language, gender, and social relationships by analyzing 78,000 Twitter messages exchanged between 1,753 gender–coded couples. In line with existing theories, women use more intensifier adverbs, pronouns, and emoticons, especially when communicating with other women. These results extend an understanding of gender–driven language use in semi–public settings of social media, with implications for sociolinguistics. |
 | Also this month! Rational reflections: An illustrative examination of news Web sites in two countries as workers reach towards digitally mediated changes This research examines the practices and beliefs of journalists at three news Web sites as they integrate new communication technologies in the workplace. The results of interviews with journalists at Abendblatt, Germany, Northern Echo in the U.K., and MSN.co.uk (U.K. Web site), suggest that existing institutional cultures can sometimes affect the way Web 2.0 technologies are used and understood by journalists. |
