Dennis Nguyen employs a large qualitative–quantitative study on the Eurozone crisis Web sphere. He discusses public spheres as mediatised discourses that register and process irritations of larger societal proportions with three intrinsically linked components of modern public communication. He proposes methods for the empirical analysis of transnational online discourses: the impact of digital technologies on modes of political communication, the structural features of Web spheres and the national–transnational alignment of online discourses. This research was funded by the University of Hull (UK).
