[ecrea] New journal : Social Media + Society !

A new journal is born : Social Media + Society
The journal's web site is now up and running at sms.sagepub.com

I am pleased to announce that our submission site is also live and ready 
at: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/smas

To begin generating submissions, we would appreciate your help in 
getting the word out. For those of you who use Twitter, feel free to use 
that platform and reference our account: @SocialMedia_Soc

Our first issue, designed to be a manifesto for the journal, is 
scheduled to come out in Spring 2015. We also have two more special 
issues coming out in 2015, one with Tarleton Gillespie, Hector Postigo 
and the Culture Digitally group, and a second one with José van Dijk, 
Thomas Poell and their colleagues on Social Media and the Transformation 
of Public Space.

We are already working toward two more special issues to be published in 
2016, one focused on Infancy Online and guest-edited by Tama Leaver and 
Bjorn Nansen, and another one  guest-edited by Jean Burgess and Ben 
Light and focused on Gender, Sexuality, and Social Media.

As you can see, we have been busy and are excited to be focusing on 
contemporary and relevant topics with our special issues.

For the time being, I would appreciate your help in getting the word out 
about the journal, so that we can begin to generate and process 
manuscript submissions, while these special issues are in the works.

Thank you all in advance,

Zizi
