OUR RESEARCH QUESTION
•What are the key features of digital activism campaigns around the world?
•How do these features correlate with various measures of success?
![Page 4: GDADS2 Coder Training Introduction](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554da1f1b4c905047b8b4700/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
OUR METHOD
•Use content analysis
• ...to ask questions about a a large number of digital activism campaigns
• ...and end up with quantitative and comparable answers.

WHY THIS TRAINING?
• 2. To identify any unclear or ambiguous instructions in the codebook and fix them.
I don’t understand these instructions.
X ✓This is so clear now!
PS: We will not change the variables themselves. We will only change the instructions to make the meaning of those variables clearer.
