Vol. 1 No. 1 (2026): International Journal of Society, Media and Technology

The inaugural issue of the International Journal of Society, Media and Technology (IJSMT) establishes a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary framework dedicated to investigating the multi-directional dynamics between technological innovation, mediated ecosystems, and human behavior. Titled "The Convergent Landscape of Digital Humanity," this premier issue aggregates empirical, qualitative, and theoretical research analyzing how emergent digital architectures reconfigure contemporary social institutions, cultural paradigms, and public communication channels.

Bridging the gap between technical engineering and sociological inquiry, the curated papers in Issue 1 address critical thematic domains including algorithmic governance, platform ethics, and the socio-political implications of automated intelligence. Ultimately, this issue provides a foundational, human-centric paradigm for examining policy frameworks, socio-technical agency, and systemic structural transformations within the global network society
