The Journal of Social Media is a multidisciplinary platform exploring the evolving ecosystem of social media. It covers a broad spectrum of scholarly domains to examine social media not just as a technology, but as a socio-cultural force that shapes communication, identity, public discourse, and participation in digital life. From social networking sites and content-sharing platforms to algorithmic, AI-driven infrastructures, JSM engages with the full complexity of digitally networked environments.
