Focus & Scope

International Journal of New Media and Politics (IJNMP)

Concise Version

The International Journal of New Media and Politics (IJNMP) is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed journal and an interdisciplinary platform dedicated to examining how emerging media technologies reshape political processes, discourse, and power structures worldwide. We explore the transformative impact of social platforms, algorithmic systems, artificial intelligence, and related digital infrastructures on politics during the shift from traditional to digital society.

IJNMP integrates perspectives from political science, communication studies, sociology, cultural studies, data science, and law to analyze how media environments shape—and are shaped by—political actors, institutions, and publics across local, national, regional, and global contexts.
