Hi Paul

My name is TJ, and I am working with a team on a research project titled "Occupy Media Survey!" at Uppsala University in Sweden.  The leading professor on the project, Christian Fuchs is also the chair of the European Sociological Association's Research Network for Communications and Media Research.

The project attempts to answer some of the following questions: What is the role of social media like Occupii, Facebook and Twitter in occupations and protests? Was the Arab spring a "Twitter and Facebook" revolution? How does the Occupy movement use social media? Is it a social media movement or something different?

Therefore we are conducting the OccupyMedia! Survey. We invite some users of Occupii  to participate in it, and would be extremely happy if you could take 15 minutes time in order to help us find out what role social media play in contemporary protests:

If you have any more questions about the survey, please contact us. If you do not find time to participate, then please simply ignore our request and excuse any inconvenience. Thanks a lot!

Further information about social media research and the background of this survey can be found in this article:

If you find this survey to be useful, then it would be great if you can also tell others about it.

Best, TJ with Occupy Media Survey
