Even in the mostly remote villages of Myanmar's Rakhine province, people are well connected thanks to the Internet. Conflict researchers Dr. Costas Laoutides and Dr. Anthony Ware therefore decided to conduct a media analysis to find out how Facebook messages are spread and framed. How do individual actors act?
