he Digital Platform Studies Working Group aims to examine the societal, cultural, and technological aspects of digitalization using a multifaceted approach, focusing on the changes that digital platforms induce in individuals, society, and the media. The group engages in a discussion regarding the experiential forms shaped by digital and algorithmic cultures, the changing dynamics of cultural production and consumption, and the role of digital platforms as mediators through their content delivery, ranking, and filtering practices. The group's research agenda centers on investigations into media, content, and news industries; algorithmic selection and distribution; user behaviors and experiences; and the examination of platform and cultural practices via digital ethnographic approaches. The working group aims to establish a critical field of research for digital platforms by addressing these concerns from an interdisciplinary perspective.
