Abstract: The essay analyses an
article Exploring emotional expressions on YouTube through the lens of media
system dependency theory by Chei Sian Lee. The study investigates the role of
social networking & video-sharing site (YouTube) in expressing emotions. The
event that emotions are expressed to is death of a famous person, Michael Jackson.
The author tries to reveal what emotions are expressed and which factors
influence these expressions. In theory, the study is based on Media System Dependency
theory.
Moreover, I try to
applicate some of the methods used in Lee´s study on an event that happenned in
the Czech context. As this event I have chosen the death of a famous Czech
singer Waldemar Matuška. In the conclusion, I try to compare the differencies
between expressing emotions about both cases.
