Trump’s victory in the U.S elections made it more evident than ever that social media and platforms shape public opinion, political engagement and even electoral outcomes.
The I-com Journal is excited to announce a Special Issue, guest-edited by Stefan Stieglitz, Hanna Krasnova, Christof Weinhardt, Georg Voronin, and Dr. Jonas Fegert, head of the House of Participation. We are calling for submissions that explore the intersections between social media and society, with a focus on topics such as:
- How do social media platforms influence democratic processes?
- What role does social media play in shaping public opinion on divisive issues?
- How can we better understandand migate the spread of disinformation online?
If your research examines the impact of social media on political movements, public discourse, or broader societal trends, we encourage you to submit your paper.
Submission Deadline: 28th February 2025
