| Please feel free forward to your colleagues and share the news of our journal | Welcome Welcome to our journal newsletter for Information Polity (IP). We are delighted to announce the publication of Volume 28, Issue 1. The content of this issue is included below. This issue contains highly interesting contributions on digitalization as organizational work (Gidlund & Heidlund, 2023), e-credentials markets (Schedler et al., 2023), public sector digital transformation barriers (Eden et al., 2023), social media consumption and political distrust in Egypt (Ghorbani et al., 2023) and media users’ and professionals’ responses to personal data receipts (Van den Broek & Van Buggenhout, 2023). Please find details below on how to submit your research to the journal as well as the upcoming Special Issue on The Future of Agile in Public Service Organizations: Macro, Meso and Micro Perspectives. If you have an idea for a publication which is quite different from a regular research paper but very relevant for our field, do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to discuss how the contribution can fit within the ambitions of the journal. Looking forward to working with you.
