Understanding feminism on online platforms: Exploration and analysis of two online platforms

Abstract

This article explores how feminism is practised and communicated on digital platforms. Feminism in India and Khabar Lahariya are two online platforms studied with interviews of respondents to understand how the online spaces are used for knowledge sharing that take feminist perspective. New media opened up spaces for people to communicate from any part of the world, create media content and circulate it. Visibility, privacy, accessibility and risks are negotiated by the reporters and content creators to produce alternative cultural production from an intersectional feminist standpoint.
