*Description of Minitrack*
Social media have become an important way for private persons,
politicians,
media/journalists and organizations to communicate publicly. This
offers
new potentials for societies (e.g. transparency, consensus
building) but
also challenges such as misinformation, fake news or manipulation.
Hence,
there is an urgent need for comprehensive concepts as well as
methods which
exist independent of particular current platforms and
applications.
Therefore, in this mini track we are looking for research that
investigates
the impact of social media on welfare of societies. Moreover,
current
developments in data science, user behavior, privacy, and trust in
the
context of society could be considered in articles submitted to
the mini
track. In this minitrack we are looking for empirical studies
(quantitative
and qualitative) as well as conceptual papers and design
orientated
articles.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- fandom in social media
- social movements in social media
- crisis situations (and communication) in social media
- political communication in social media
- impact of social media on the welfare of societies
- negative effects: fake news, mis- and disinformation, rumours
- automated accounts/social bots
- social capital and social support
- impact of social media on equality and inequality (e.g. of
minorities,
genders) within societies
