Hi #ica26, interested in computational approaches and media use & effects? This is for you: 📢 CfP CCR Special Issue: From normalization to next frontiers: Media use & effects in the computational era. 🗓Abstracts due: Oct 16 journal.computationalcommunication.org/announcement... @icacm.bsky.social

Dive into the latest methodological frontiers on Jun 7: Rethinking Digital Traces 9:00 AM - 10:15 AM; The LLM Simulation Frontier 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM; Tracing Narrative & Semantic Change 1:30 PM - 2:45 PM; and News Production & Engagement 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM. See you there!

Couldn’t have been happier about the outcome of our #ica26 Causal Turn Panel. The panelists highlighted the needs to move forward: 1. build theories on time and sequence in media effects 2. learn to control for confounding factors 3. develop analytical approaches like sequences analysis
