Akdeniz University’s Faculty of Communication is pleased to invite abstract submissions for the 4^th  International Media Studies Symposium (IMS 2022) to be held _online_ on May 16-18, 2022. The language of the Symposium will be only English.

The main theme of the IMS 2022 is determined as *Communication Research in Digital Society*. Contributions that bring up new research topics dealing with the recent changes in the practice of communication will be highly appreciated. Participants are encouraged to focus on the role of technologies in transforming people’s daily experiences from a multidisciplinary perspective. Further consideration may be given to the pressure for upscaling digital communication abilities.

A modern and progressive society emerges as a result of the adoption and integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) at home, work, education, and recreation, and is supported by advanced telecommunications and wireless connectivity systems and solutions which these systems offer in every sphere of life.

The digital society offers unimaginable opportunities, driving growth, improvement of citizens’ lives and efficiency to many areas including health services, transportation, energy, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and public administration using mobile and cloud technologies, Big Data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things.

Having the capability of utilizing competently these opportunities provided by digital society, a good digital citizen advocates for equal digital rights for all, leverages digital tools to collaborate with others, respects digital privacy, intellectual property, and other rights of people online. While they apply critical thinking to all online sources, including fake news or advertisements, they also understand the permanence of the digital world, and proactively manage their digital identity.
