    Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media

    Special Issue Paper Call
    Digital Media & Politics: Effects of The Great Information and
    Communication
    Divides
Public discourse about socio-cultural, economic and political issues has
    catalyzed a drastic shift in tone and tactics since the 2016
    presidential
    election campaign cycle.  Through the constant output of news and
    information
    presented by cable news networks, broadcast networks, social media and
    the
    Internet, an unprecedented array of tailored communication strategies
    have
    emerged to target and influence the diverse constituents and voters
    across
    different socio-economic, ethnic and racial subgroups.   In this early
    stage
    of the Web 3.0 environment, disrupted technologies – such as big data
analytics and social bots – have the capacity to energize public opinion
    and exacerbate on-going information and communication divides in
    society.
    This special issue aims at investigating a range of topics that will
    help
    identify the information communication, and persuasion strategies
    applied to
    influence the interactions between media, politics and society as well
    as the
    effects of such interactions.  Appropriate topics for submission could
    address a wide range of issues that impact public discourse on our
    democracy
    and way of life.  Below is a set of sample concepts or constructs that
    help
    contextualize this special issue call.
