Journal of Information Policy are pleased to present our next workshop
titled "Taming and Nurturing the Wild Child: Government and Corporate
Policies for Social Media" as a preconference at the International
Communication Association (ICA) Convention, on May 24, 2019 at the
Washington Hilton, in Washington DC. 

 

A competitively selected set of papers from leading academicians and
budding scholars will be presented at the workshop, addressing the legal,
economic, organizational and ethical dimensions of social media policy.
How can policy -- defined broadly, including government policies,
regulations and laws and the policies of corporations including
algorithmic screening of content and emergent norms --be developed, while
protecting societal values such as freedom of speech and information? The
workshop program is available here:
