Abstract
A decade ago, in June 2008,Information, Communication & Society published the first special issue of CITASA: the Communication and Information Technology section of the American Sociological Association (ASA). Then, as now, it consisted of articles based on papers presented at the previous year’s annual meeting of the ASA. The basic principle was to obtain (sometimes revised) papers soon after the ASA meeting, referee them rigorously, and get the issue out relatively quickly before the next ASA annual meet- ing. Two or three rotating members of CITASA have served as editors of each special issue. The first, 2008, issue was edited by Keith Hampton and Barry Wellman. Coming full cir- cle, Wellman co-edits this new 2018 issue, alongside Jenny Davis and Jason Smith. One big change is that CITASA has become CITAMS, with media sociologists joining the expanded Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Sociology section of the ASA.
