Abstract

The rapid rise and widely usage of social media has reshaped the policy communication and challenged the traditional crisis management. This study collects social media data about Tianjin Port Explosion. This study finds that the network structure of welcomed and controversial tweets are significantly different. Using hyper-network analysis, we identify the positive, neutral and opposed group toward the house compensation policy.
