Misinformation is a large component of social media. Sometimes, misinformation increases during times of uncertainty and panic, such as during crisis events. By collecting Twitter data from events such as the Boston Marathon Bombings, Paris Terror Attacks, and a WestJet Airlines Hijacking, it became apparent that thousands of individuals turn to social media as a real-time news source. First, data from public Twitter profiles was collected during major crisis events. After collecting the data, it was qualitatively coded based off a scheme pertaining to rumor acknowledgement. Next, individual Twitter users were contacted to participate in a semi-structured interview centered around their social media use habits. Through interviewing individuals who participated in the online conversation, data shows that there are emotional feelings related to online rumoring. This research aims to identify different ways misinformation is handled on Twitter and explore a new idea, "emotional proximity." Implications of this research include a deeper understanding of how information travels online during crisis events, and the emotional influence social media has on individuals during drastic times.
