CMC Is Dead, Long Live CMC!: Situating Computer-Mediated Communication Scholarship Beyond the Digital Age
As the term “computer” and the processes and effects of technologies in human communication broaden, there is a need to have an accounting of the computer-mediated communication (CMC) subdiscipline. After identifying some of the changes that have…
The Conduct and Consequence of Research on
Digital Communication
Research on digital communication is best served by concentrating not on current technological tools, but rather on the novel processes of social and communicative change to which such technologies are often closely linked. Thus, scholarship should…
Are We Moving Towards Convergence or Divergence? Mapping the Intellectual Structure and Roots of Online Social Network Research 1997–2017
Online social networks (OSNs), comprised of varying types of relations among actors that interact through social technologies, are widespread in today’s media environment. However, questions remain whether we are moving towards convergence within the…
Cutting the Cord: Social and Scholarly Revolutions as CMC Goes Mobile

Explicating Cues: A Typology for Understanding Emerging Media Technologies
Cues have long been an important concept in computer-mediated communication (CMC), as several core theories have utilized cues to explain how they get filtered and interpreted through technologies. As computing technologies evolved, other related…
Computer-Mediated Communication in the Age of Communication Visibility
This article argues that a distinctive aspect of computer-mediated communication (CMC) is the way it can make communication visible to others in ways that were previously impractical. We propose a theory of communication visibility that recognizes…
Authenticity Model of (Mass-Oriented Computer-Mediated Communication: Conceptual Explorations and Testable Propositions
While several major theories and models have emerged and guided research on computer-mediated communication (CMC) in the interpersonal context, equivalent theoretical development seems to be lacking in the study of mass-oriented CMC, despite a large…
