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

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, please kindly access: https://policyreview.info/5years
