THEMES FOR THIS ISSUE: Research in the field of media innovations focusses on understanding change as it relates to new players in the media landscape, new roles of media users, new business models and new media formats (cf. Storsul and Krumsvik, 2013). To date, studies of media innovations have primarily explored media innovations that occur within established media organizations and institutions, but not significantly explored the perspective of societal change. However, media innovations do have consequences for social processes, with particular regard to participation, empowerment and democracy. To date, the social implications of media innovations remain significantly under-researched. This Special Issue aims to address this research gap. We invite a range of theoretical and empirical research. Published research articles will explore the relationship between media innovation and social change by focussing on topics topics such as: * Media innovation and activism; * Media innovation and minority, marginalized or disadvantaged communities; * User empowerment and user participation in Media Innovation; * Media innovation and ethical dilemmas (including business ethical dilemmas); * Media innovation and social movements; * Media innovations that are initiated either wholly or partly outside of traditional media organizations; * Media innovations and technological infrastructure for social change; * and, governance and policy issues. https://uio.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74e9caaf2314ebe7fb15fac6f&id=...
