 Background

 Now, we live in the social media era. Facebook and Twitter are popular
 among higher classes and older users; also growing among other public.
 Facebook and Twitter have been becoming the most important channels for
   changing information paths. Through Twitter, people organize themselves
   in several protests and activities.

 The use of social network tools leads to social changes in everyday
 life, politics, education and other fields. The emergence of online
 social networks has changed the way information circulates within the
 country, creating more awareness, actions and changes.

 This conference is dedicated to providing opportunities for scholars
   and practitioners to share their knowledge and to get involved in
 discourse on social media uses and their implications on politics,
 economy, social, and journalism, as well as the challenges they bring.
 All relevant academic and multidisciplinary perspectives in the area of
   social media culture are welcomed.
