[Air-L] New Special Issue on Networked publics & policy

[Frédéric Dubois]

New Special Issue of Internet Policy Review

*Networked publics: multi-disciplinary perspectives on big policy issues
<https://policyreview.info/articles/analysis/networked-publics-multi-disciplinary-perspectives-big-policy-issues>*
Guest-edited by William H. Dutton

We’re pleased to announce the publication of our newest special issue,
bringing together the best policy-oriented papers presented at the 2017
annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) in
Tartu, Estonia. The issue – on the broad theme of networked publics – was
edited by guest editor William H. Dutton, Professor of media and
information policy at Michigan State University.

The seven papers in the special issue span topics concerning whether and
how technology and policy are reshaping access to information, perspectives
on privacy and security online, and social and legal perspectives on
informed consent of internet users. As explained in the editorial to this
issue, taken together, the papers reflect the rise of new policy,
regulatory and governance issues around the internet and social media, an
ascendance of disciplinary perspectives in what is arguably an
interdisciplinary field, and the value that theoretical perspectives from
cultural studies, law and the social sciences can bring to internet policy
research.

This special issue is the first major release of Internet Policy Review in
its fifth anniversary year. The open access journal on internet regulation
is a high-quality publication put out by four leading European internet
research institutions: The Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society
(HIIG), Berlin; the Centre for Creativity, Regulation, Enterprise and
Technology (CREATe), Glasgow; the Institut des sciences de la communication
(ISCC-CNRS), Paris; the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3),
Barcelona.

The release of this special issue officially kicks off the Internet Policy
Review anniversary series of activities, including both an Open Access
Minigolf during the Long Night of the Sciences (Berlin) and the IAMCR
conference (Eugene, Oregon) in June, a Grand anniversary celebration
(Berlin) in September and a participation in the AoIR2018 conference in
October (Montreal). For up-to-date information on our planned activities,
