LEVERAGING MEDIA FOR ADVOCACY OBJECTIVES (LMAO)
LEVERAGING MEDIA FOR ADVOCACY OBJECTIVES (LMAO)
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Leveraging Media for Advocacy Objectives aims to provide detailed and methodical insights into the challenges of attention hacking for civil society and social advocacy.
The findings will be the result of a six month research project focusing on the challenges of gaining Meme (IG: @bulihland) and Tik Tok visibility and traction.
Particular focus will be given towards marginalised communities, i.e. communities with neither cultural capital, discursive authorship nor economic and socio-political representation in Malaysia.
