Description
Summary:We are glad to announce that the 64th issue of Connectist has been published and thank you for your interest in our journal. We would like to note that there has been a huge increase in articles submitted to Connectist and that choosing from hundreds of articles was a difficult and rigorous task for us as theme editors. As is known, the articles submitted to our journal are first evaluated by our editorial team. This evaluation is based on the main problematic, theoretical, and methodological framework of the article and its suitability to the field of communication and media studies. The articles that pass the pre-evaluation process are forwarded to experts in the field for a blind peer-review process, and finally, the articles approved by the reviewers are accepted for publication. We cannot sufficiently thank our reviewers, who carefully read and evaluated the articles during the process. The articles in our 63rd issue were published through all these processes, spanning a year, and each article reflects current trends in the field of communication and media studies.As it is known, communication and media studies, as an interdisciplinary field, establishes its existence in the actual socio-cultural environment both because it is shaped by technological developments and because the contents derived from these technologies transform and construct the social and cultural environment. Communication and media research tries to understand and interpret concepts and channels that are included in our daily life practices, such as social media, mobile communication technologies, metaverse, digital platforms, expanding cinema, and the transformations they create. For this reason, communication studies, which try to understand the social and cultural, not only enrich the existing scientific literature but also have great potential in the production of a series of social policies in society. It is possible to see these potentials in the adoption and dissemination of cultural diversity, in the development of a non-discriminatory discourse, and in the legislative arrangements made for the construction of media ownership in a way that will strengthen the democratic and pluralistic society. We believe that the studies in this issue of Connectist will contribute, albeit in a small way, to the realization of these possibilities. We wish you happy reading!Prof. Hasan AKBULUT, Doç.
