Opportunities, Challenges, and Power of Media and Information

1. Has the Lord ever
abandoned anyone who
held him in constant
reverence? Has the Lord
ever ignored anyone who
prayed to him? The Lord is
kind and merciful; he
forgives our sins and keeps
us safe in time of trouble.
Ecclesiasticus 2:10–11, TEV

2. Dear Father in heaven, Mighty God in
heaven and on earth, quicken us by the
Word you have sent and by all you have
done for us in your mercy and steadfast
love. Keep us eager and joyful even in
difficult and troubled days. Grant us
unfailing trust in you, to give us firm
ground under our feet so that we can
always thank and glorify you. For you, O
Lord, are our God. You are our Father,
and you will never forsake your children
in all eternity. Amen.

5. People increasingly use Social Media (SM) platforms such as Twitter and Facebook
during disasters and emergencies to post situational updates including reports of
injured or dead people, infrastructure damage, requests of urgent needs, and the
like. Information on SM comes in many forms, such as textual messages, images,
and videos. Several studies have shown the utility of SM information for disaster
response and management, which encouraged humanitarian organizations to start
incorporating SM data sources into their workflows. However, several challenges
prevent these organizations from using SM data for response efforts. These
challenges include near-real-time information processing, information overload,
information extraction, summarization, and verification of both textual and visual
content. We highlight various applications and opportunities of SM multimodal
data, latest advancements, current challenges, and future directions for the crisis
informatics and other related research fields.
