Olof Sundin co-authored an online publication (on 21st Sept.) at Information Matters, on the subject of infrastructural meaning-making. Information Matters is a digital-only communication forum for information science, sponsored by the Association for Information Science & Technology. In their publication, Olof and colleague argue that not only is it becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish fact from opinion, but also to understand why certain content ends up in our feeds, recommendations or search results in the first place. Yet it’s more important than ever to understand it. This is where infrastructural meaning-making comes into play, and it’s something that the datafied society needs to understand.
