Working Paper
This content is an early or alternative research output and has not been peer-reviewed at the time of posting.

Abstract

Does the subject of Telegram messages impact message views? In this study, I examined the impact of text and image content on message view counts for messages sent between 15 February 2022 and 15 March 2022 in a Telegram channel associated with the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM). My goal was to examine how multimodal computational tools can be used to inductively explore online discourse associated with an extremist group.
