The concept of editorialization
Editorialization is the set of dynamics that produce and structure digital space. These dynamics can be understood as the interactions of individual and collective actions within a particular digital environment.
- Interaction of algorithms, platform, databases, users' actions, practices
- The world is the object of editorialization (not "contents")
