Subject: Re: [Occupyresearch] social movement scholars and digital media
Until fairly recently, but it's changing. See Lance Bennett, various
issues of Social Movement Studies (journal), Manuel Castells, etc. I do
a course on sociology based social movement studies, check out the
syllabus: http://networkmovements.wordpress.com/syllabus/

Also, not sure re: the term 'digital' as an important modifier for
social movement scholars looking at media and movements (rather than the
specific affordances of a given media platform, for example 'networked,'
many to many, etc)
