Hi everyone,

A reminder that John Jones of Ohio State and I have a call out for our edited collection on The Crisis in Digital Democracy. We're accepting 500-word proposals through January, 25th that explore:

*The effect of online content laws in hindering or promoting online accountability or abuse *The spread/growth of clickbait, memes, and “fake news” and the impact of bots and sock-puppet accounts on distributing such content *Targeted social media campaigns and advertising *The role of Internet-era actors like Wikileaks in influencing public opinion and policy *The history of media disruptions in elections and how this history can inform current issues *The design of networked platforms and software as well as their role in privileging particular online interactions *The evolution of social media tastemakers, including activists, pundits, and entertainers *The role of anonymity and platform liability restrictions on civic discourse *Expressions of government accountability (or lack thereof) in digital spaces

We're are particularly interested in papers that frame global events around 2016 as we move forward and learn from those events.

Feel free to email me with any questions at mtrice@mit.edu

Thank you for your time.

Best,

Michael
