Abstract
This short piece introduces the special issue of Television & New Media (TVNM) on data power in material contexts, which brings together papers which analyze the operations of data power across a range of real-world domains. It highlights the increasing connectedness of digital data tracking, aggregation, and analytics across domains that include and move beyond media, as data are increasingly combined and shared across diverse digital spaces. Thus, it connects media and communications scholarship concerned with datafication to debates in other related and overlapping fields, as part of the larger project of building data studies as an interdisciplinary and critical field. It briefly introduces the papers in the special issue, all of which constitute detailed empirical investigations that ground the study of data power in specific, material contexts.
