In particular, ENT helps to articulate three characteristics of social media communication, manifest especially during political crises when the society is challenged by high-level of uncertainty and ambiguity of information: the hybridity of interpersonal conversations and factual news (Papacharizzi & De Fatima Oliveira, 2012), the instantaneous and episodic flow of contents (Kwak et al., 2010), and the spontaneous communicative participation (Bennett & Segerberg, 2012).	cache/spir-8834.pdf	txt/spir-8834.txt
