International Journal of Communication
Publishes a Special Section on Communication, Culture, and Governance in Asia

This Special Section on Communication, Culture, and Governance in Asia
brings together nine original articles (plus an editorial introduction) on
work looking at the interaction of media and digital technologies, policy
and governance, and evolving cultures and politics in the Asian region. It
is guest-edited by Emma Baulch (Monash University Malaysia), Terry Flew
(Queensland University of Technology), and Luzhou Li (Monash University).
Contributors are from eight countries throughout Asia and the Pacific, and
all are concerned with developing a regional perspective on digital platform
governance that is grounded in the Asian context. This Special Section focuses on a wide range of topics including: digital
media use for civic engagement; the crisis of trust and combatting online
misinformation; ICT access in the face of structural inequalities based on
class and gender; the global expansion of Chinese digital platforms; the
changing Chinese television production industry; and the interaction between
laws, policy and corporate action in evolving platform governance. These studies provide an important Asian regional perspective on global
digital communication issues. They are focused on the current conjuncture
where digital platforms are increasingly the subject of nation-state
regulation, ICT industries are caught up in geopolitical conflicts and trade
wars, concerns exist about the spread of misinformation and disinformation
online, and digital media are central to new forms of political and social
movement activism. We invite you to read this new Special Section of 10 articles in the
International Journal of Communication that published Saturday, September
14, 2019 and available at ijoc.org.  We look forward to your feedback!
