“…In the last decade, both the casuistry and the literature on the role of social networks in political communication, the public sphere, the generation of opinion, polarization, bubble filters or echo chambers have been tremendously prolific due to the dimension of the phenomenon (Casero-Ripollés, 2022;Couldry;Livingstone;Markham, 2007;Barnett et al, 2017;Borge;Brugué;Duenas-Cid, 2022;Jungherr;Rivero;Gayo-Avello, 2022). Authors such as Chadwick (2017) have described in a novel and thorough way how political communication has been increasingly transformed by the dynamics of digital media framed by continuous flows of information that break away from professional media routines.…”

The growing interconnection of technology and politics and the enactment of particular political goals (technopolitics) has been closely articulated with emotions and the building of foreign policy narratives. In the current context of change in the communication paradigm, global and disintermediated, bringing together in the same digital space distinct actors, and having wide diffusion and reach, the challenges to international politics are diverse. Digital and media literacy are, in this regard, key to address the implications of these changes, avoiding the spreading of disinformation, fake news and distorted practices that might have profound effects at societal and political level. In this context, this paper aims at providing a basis for understanding the emerging and increasingly clear connection between political communication, polarization, disinformation, and emotions in social networks and digital literacy as a central factor explaining misuse or alleviating deficiencies, on the one hand, and how this context is affecting the reconfiguration of international relations and politics, on the other hand. The case of the war in Ukraine is illustrative of these trends and dynamics.

“…Thus, previous social research works have been limited inquisitive about how journalists grasp transformations in journalistic humane applications in the situation of contemporary communications automations, and how these transformations are intricately interlaced with the socio-political and economic community in which journalists conduct. Ripolles (2022) notes that: "The relationship between journalism and politics has always played a central role in democratic society. The emergence of social media has led to many changes in the communication environment and relationship dynamics.…”

Contemporary communications automations have diversified journalism application in a philosophical social system and Sierra Leone has not been an exclusion. However, social research on the encounter of these automations on journalism humane is scrappily skimpy. Loads of the sociological or intellectual focus contribute to concentrate on purposes of contemporary communications automations in commonplace social application, while their humane conclusions are considered to be furtive. The aforementioned is despite the verity that the social applicability of journalism is broadly signified on its competence to socially operate as a robust gifter of civic awareness or education, and “reliable, all- inclusive and rational” obligations of news organisations and events (Marcinkowski & Engelman, 2021). The current social research explores humane challenges confronted by Sierra Leonean journalism professionals or practitioners when utilising cellular phones, the internet and email in their social engagement. The research incorporates an inquiry questionnaire and semi-structured dialogues to produce data on humane challenges and difficulties confronted journalism professionals or practitioners in Sierra Leone. Outcomes acknowledge a dialectical crush of contemporary communication automations on journalism and submit that cellular phone, the Internet and email are perceived as promoters as well as barriers to humane journalism. The research excites the application of the sociology of journalism mores as a social structure for inquiring humane challenges and difficulties confronted by journalism professionals when utilising contemporary communications automations. It is debated that the application of humane journalism should be perceived as encircled by the social interaction of a mosaic social network of tectonic, institutional and socio-economic components, both within and outside to the social community in which journalism is practiced or applied.
