Noobie ICA question😋 If paper is listed in the top papers session but nobody has told you you got the award, and if the session has 6 papers but there are only 3 awards... does that mean that you were close but did not get the award? or are awards announced in situ at the session itself? #commsky

I just received my first ever desk-reject from an academic journal.
The article:

Not an expert on social media & youth studies, but here's a question for those who are: all the evidence that shows detrimental effects of not using it, come from a context where everybody is using it and just a few are not. How much can that be extrapolated to a world where nobody is? #CommSky
Really interesting new paper from some of my former @gesis.org colleagues in @bigdatasoc.bsky.social: "From (almost) open to heavily restricted data access – The development of the Twitter/X developer policies"

This is a compelling piece arguing rural journalism isn’t just a niche, but a distinct subfield with its own norms, challenges, and practices.
