Abstract

The Munich Security Conference 2021 (the MSC), a significant event in the field of international relations and security, is the focus of this article's analysis of comments as a means of audience feedback and communication. The MSC's official accounts on well-known social media platforms like Facebook are used to analyze the comments. The authors of the article organize the comments into themes based on their popularity and relevance, and they examine the vocabulary from a stylistic and semantic perspective. It is concluded that events occurring on a global scale as well as specific domestic issues requiring the attention and response of the international community influence public opinion. The particular characteristics of user feedback are dictated by the kind of digital platforms used. In addition to offering crucial information about public opinion in cyberspace, the critical approach to discourse analysis enables the application of acquired knowledge in the educational domain to instruct critical perception of digital content and adhere to media literacy principles.
