👉Call for Publication on Multi-Platform Research 📚📜📄

We are pleased to announce a CfP for a Special Issue on "Comparative and Systematic Approaches to Multi-Platform Research," to be published in Political Communication.

We hope to advance the following broad question: what is the nature of a complex, fragmented, multi-platform digital ecosystem, how does political communication flow through it, and what are its consequences for politics and society?

This call welcomes both empirical studies using qualitative, quantitative, computational and mixed-methods approaches (inclusive of descriptive and causal studies). This includes (but is not limited to) surveys, experiments, content analyses (of all types), digital and in-person ethnographies, interviews, and focus groups. We also welcome theoretical pieces that have direct applications to multi-platform research.

Find the full details here: https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issues/political-communication-multi-platform-research/

Abstracts of no more than 1,000 words are due September 25, 2023.

For any inquiries, please feel free to reach out to any of the SI editorial board (Josephine Lukito, Meredith Pruden, Jiyoun Suk, Yunkang Yang, and Wei Zhong), or the Special Issue email ([email protected]).
