Abstract

The rapid growth of the Internet and social media platforms has increasingly made these central focus areas for media scholars around the world. Within the context of the broader framework of the movement towards decolonizing media and communication studies, this growth of digital methods raises key questions including: How are digital methods in these contexts currently being used and how might scholars begin to think about “decolonizing” these methods? What do digital methods look like in a context of the digital divide? This short commentary reflects on these questions to make an argument for the need to decolonize digital methods.
