Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Social networks are important in today's life and in times of pandemics such as the one we are living in. In social networks, online and streaming discourse occurs in different areas such as politics, social and sustainable education, ethics, and it is quite possible and normal to find many fake news on these networks. With the advent of new technologies, the concept of public sphere is redefined, including these new media. The new cyberspaces are a new conception of the public sphere, as a place of information, contestation, organisation, discussion and political, social, educational, ethical, sustainable, etc. struggle. This rise of social networks in the current context arises from a deterioration of the conventional public sphere (traditional media and political organisations), giving rise to this new public sphere in which citizens can find and exchange dissimilar points of view. What we must ask ourselves is to what extent the use of social networks contributes to the democratisation of public life and what effects the use of fake news has on educational models and on the social construction of reality.

This special issue is framed around social media and the sustainable approach to research. Researchers can make scientific contributions on topics such as social networks and politics, social networks and education, social networks and sustainability, fake news, public ethics and sustainable education models. This will contribute to a deeper understanding of the multiple dimensions of the above-mentioned problems and issues.
