Abstract

In this study, we champion netnography as a uniquely advantageous research method for both scholars and crisis management agencies. By examining a Facebook community's interactions during a health crisis, we illuminate how netnography can capture intricate social dynamics, including the level of public trust, in real time. This approach provides a nuanced, context-rich perspective often missing in traditional research methods, enhancing our understanding of crisis communication strategies. Our study underscores netnography's unique utility in crisis management, particularly its ability to document evolving communication patterns and public sentiment. This research posits netnography as an invaluable method, suggesting its wider adoption can significantly enhance the efficacy of social media as a tool for crisis communication.
