This special issue invites contributions on how truth value is attributed, contested, and put to strategic use through images in contemporary communication across platformed public spheres. Particular attention is given to the ways in which multimodal artefacts
circulate as forms of "evidence", becoming focal points for polarised and discriminatory conflict in digital environments. The issue welcomes submissions that engage critically with these dynamics through Social Media Critical Discourse Studies and Multimodal
Critical Discourse Analysis, as well as through other methodological approaches addressing discrimination in platformed contexts.</div>
