Final Product
Final Product
The final product of this project will be a well-formulated website. The gap in research on this topic is quite sizable, so there should be no shortage of content to include on a research-focused website. This website will include a literature review section, a section to outline the method, findings, and lastly the discussion. This extensive research into this topic will cover all things short-form video content as well as the patterns of spread of misinformation & conspiracy theories on these platforms. The website will serve as a more user-friendly platform to deliver the most important informative content from the research, with the full research & writing still available. The website will contain all of the important information that had been discovered in the survey, as well as easily digestible discussion and conclusion sections where the results of the study are shown.
