Comparing Georgia and Other Countries: Implementation of Social Media in Journalism Practice

The research project examines the role of social media in journalism practice. This research project can significantly contribute to journalism studies by providing insights into journalism practice in the country of Georgia related to the news production process. Thus, the research project goal is to write an article as part of the PhD dissertation. It aims to expand the literature review and figure out the research questions for the paper in terms of comparative research. This project is an opportunity for home and host supervisors to build new relationships. The host supervisor (Magda Konieczna) and home supervisor (Tinatini Matcharashvili) will discuss possible future joint research ideas that can bridge the two universities, Concordia University and Ivane Javakhishvli Tbilsi State University (TSU). The research project allows the intern to attend the GradProSkills workshops at CU, unavailable at her home university, and share the research findings with the Canadian scholarly community. The research will deepen academic understanding and provide practical applications that can benefit Canadian and Georgian media industries.
