Abstract: Based on survey data gathered before and after September 11, this study examines the relationship between “Internet connectedness” and communicative actions after crisis. The study found that (1) people heighten their dependency relations with mass media forms no matter whether they had and Internet connection or not after the September 11th, (2) “Internet high connectors” intensified their Internet connection even more strongly and expanded their scope of communication media after 9/11; (3) “Internet low connectors” decreased the intensity of their Internet connection and narrowed their scope of communication media after 9/11; and (4) Internet high connectors participated in a broader range of civic activities in response to September 11th, than low- and non-connectors did. |
