Dear colleagues,


We are organizing a Special Issue entitled "News Reserach in Social
Networks and Social Media". The special issue will be published in a
peer-reviewed scientific journal indexed by SJR (Q3) and Scopus. For more
detailed on the journal, please refer to
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/information

In recent years, the news industry has undergone a big transformation as a
consequence of its online diffusion. According to a recent survey, social
media has become an important source of news for adults around the world.
Nevertheless, this survey also revealed that phenomena such as fake news
have had a serious impact on the credibility of online news. Additionally,
scientific and technical progress has enabled the increasing adoption of
data-driven news generation. Lastly, online news provides a rich dataset
for understanding the characteristics of news media channels, such as
political leaning and tone, as well as news consumption and sharing
dynamics.

This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the application of
intelligent techniques in the news domain. The key areas of this Special
Issue include, but are not limited to:

   - Fake news detection (both explainable and multi-
   - modal);
   - News analytics and classification;
   - News similarity and clustering;
   - News provenance;
   - Automated news generation;
   - News event and topic evolution;
   - News framing research;
   - News personalization;
   - News emotion prediction and detection;
   - News sharing, diffusion, and consumption.
