Dear MeCCSA

BBC CoJo is running a social media summit on 20th May (Friday this week).

One of the aims of the conference is to promote research links between media organisations and academics researching social media.

Here is the webpage for the summit:

Here are a couple of blog posts (one of which is mine) outlining existing projects and suggesting possible ideas for more:

If you are persuing research in this area, or are looking for a media organisation to collaborate with, or just have something you want to add please let us know via the comments.

The event can be followed live via the website or twitter #bbcsms. We welcome your contribution!
