Brooks emilyj.Brooks@ijmras.com Dr. Maria Harrington mariaHarrington@jimras.com <p>The rapid digitalization of communication has transformed how societies perceive, discuss, and represent death. This qualitative study explores how users interpret online coverage of death-related issues, drawing from perspectives in sociology, anthropology, and media studies. Using thematic analysis of social media discourse, digital journalism, and user-generated content, this research examines emotional responses, ethical tensions, and cultural narratives surrounding online death representations. Findings reveal a complex interplay between empathy, spectacle, and desensitization—highlighting the ways digital media both humanize and commodify death. This study contributes to understanding the evolving socio-cultural relationship between mortality and digital communication in the 21st century.</p> 2025-10-06T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025
