NAVIGATING THE COMPLEXITIES OF MEDIA, POLITICS, AND SOCIETY IN CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH

Abstract

The current issue of the Media Studies journal brings together a diverse range of scholarly works that delve into critical and contemporary topics at the intersection of media, politics, technology, and identities. Through this collection, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of how various dimensions of media consumption, political engagement, social practices, and identity formation are being reshaped in the modern era. This special issue reflects on how media practices and political dynamics intersect with everyday life, shaping public opinion, political participation, identity construction, and even humanitarian actions in a digitalized world.
