Chapters provide helpful advice on methodological issues such as how to research private messaging apps, the impact of digital decay on the research process, the role of ethnographic and small data approaches in studying online political communication, and the use of trace interviews to include the perspectives of participants. Contributors also discuss the ethical concerns that emerge because of restrictions to data, such as issues of informed consent for users whose contributions are included in research, and how to balance the need to preserve their original meaning without identifying them. Others reflect on harm in social media research, considering the responsibilities of scholars if they identify harmful material and the challenges of ensuring researcher safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA valuable resource for undergraduates, postgraduate taught, and postgraduate research students, this book will appeal to researchers of online political communication, political communication, digital culture, politics, and journalism studies courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Dennis \u003c\/b\u003eis a Researcher at Universidade Lusófona, Portugal.
