Editor’s Memo Volume 20 (1), 2025
On behalf of the editorial team, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you for the valuable submissions, insights, and dedication to the continued growth of the communication and media field. The articles not only enrich this publication but also advance the broader conversation around communication and media studies in profound and impactful ways.
The diversity of topics, perspectives, and methodologies presented in this issue is a testament to the vibrancy and dynamism of our academic community. Whether exploring emerging digital platforms, dissecting media representations, or analysing the intricacies of media and communication landscape, the articles contribute meaningfully to the evolving communication scholarship.
Communication research serves as a bridge between disciplines, cultures, and communities—offering insights that inform public policy, education, social justice, and innovation. Moreover, as media becomes increasingly participatory and ubiquitous, our roles as scholars become even more significant. We are not only observers but also active participants in shaping media literacy, promoting ethical communication practices, and empowering voices that might otherwise go unheard. Therefore, the articles presented in this issue play a vital role in promoting dialogue, fostering understanding, and encouraging critical thought in academic and public spheres alike.
Thank you once again for your commitment to excellence and for choosing to share your research with us. We are honoured to be a platform for your voices and are excited about the future of communication and media studies, fueled by your continued curiosity and rigour.
Warm regards,
Dr. Suffian Hadi Ayub
Editor-in-Chief Forum Komunikasi
