Digital Media and Social Networks

Digital media and social networks have radically changed the communication environment, albeit at different paces and in different ways across social groups and global regions. Annenberg’s research in this field explores the development, diffusion, uses, and individual and collective social, political, cultural, and economic impact of digital information and communication technologies, networks, and systems.
