This article aims to elucidate Kierkegaard’s thinking on the press and propagating falsehood. It starts from the story of the origin of the polemic with the satirical magazine The Corsair. It then moves to discuss his ensued confrontation with the written press on the conception of truth and falsehood. To that end, it reflects on the assumptions involved and indicates the implications that can be deduced, both for Kierkegaard's time and concerning the relevance or actuality of the mass media. Its concluding thoughts include Mynster as an apologist for Goldschmidt, Kierkegaard as a prophet forewarning about today’s globalized problem of the social media manipulating of public opinion, and that journalistic communication with the concrete individual lacks a conception of life compared to indirect communication of power, knowing power, which like ethico-religious truths, has to be subjectively appropriated and actualized as part of one's life conception.

Social security, which is considered as a part of national or state security, has great role in developing and advancing society. In this day and age, as we live in a world of development and technology, social security is under various types of threats and risks in most societies. The Press, through its different channels and means, plays a great role in creating and fostering this risk to destabilize social security. This, then, has necessitated many countries to restrict and curb some media outlets and journalists within legal boundaries.  Accordingly, the emergence of the social media outlets in general, and Facebook, as a new social media network in particular, has increased the afore-mentioned risks and threats on social security. The aim of this paper is an attempt to find the range of the risk that comes out of Facebook on social security in Kurdistan region in general, and Erbil in particular.

The afterword to Cyberwar explores the question of where this knowledge of Russian interference in the 2016 election leaves us, considering the fact that Russian cyberpiracy, espionage, and assaults in 2016 were not a one-time occurrence, despite attempts to deter them via sanctions. Jamieson discusses how five groups unwittingly helped the Russians achieve their ends in 2016—the press, the social media platforms, the citizenry, past and prospective candidates, and the polarizers who have created a climate conducive to distrust and discord—and how we can draw on what we learned in 2016 to combat Russian trolls and hackers going forward.

Abstract. Knowledge exchange via social media is crucial for organizational success. Yet, many employees only read others’ contributions without actively contributing their knowledge. We thus examined predictors of the willingness to contribute knowledge. Applying social identity theory and expectancy theory to knowledge exchange, we investigated the interplay of users’ identification with their organization and perceived usefulness of a social media tool. In two studies, identification facilitated users’ willingness to contribute knowledge – provided that the social media tool seemed useful (vs. not-useful). Interestingly, identification also raised the importance of acquiring knowledge collectively, which could in turn compensate for low usefulness of the tool. Hence, considering both social and media factors is crucial to enhance employees’ willingness to share knowledge via social media.
