[Commlist] IJoC Publishes a Book Review Forum on Eszter Hargittai's Connected in Isolation

International Journal of Communication Publishes a Book Review Forum on
Eszter Hargittai's Connected in Isolation


One of the wonderful affordances of non-commercial online publishing is the
ability to solicit and present contributions that fall outside the narrow
confines of scholarly research articles. As one of IJoC's core missions is
to raise the profile (and increase the quantity) of book reviews, we have
occasionally taken the opportunity provided by the publication of a
provocative and timely book to invite a number of colleagues to reflect on
the questions and issues raised by that work, followed by a response from
the author. The recent publication of Eszter Hargittai's Connected in
Isolation: Digital Privilege in Unsettling Times was just such an occasion
and our judgment was quickly confirmed by the enthusiasm of the colleagues
we approached. Thus, it is indeed a pleasure for us to present a collection
of insightful and stimulating responses to a book that is sure to become a
milestone in contemporary media scholarship.  The distinguished 
colleagues who have contributed to this forum are Paul
DiMaggio, New York University; Hyunjin Seo, University of Kansas; Daniel
Kreiss, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Amy Gonzales,
University of California, Santa Barbara; Lee Humphreys, Cornell University;
Teresa Correa, Universidad Diego Portales; Dmitry Epstein, The Hebrew
University of Jerusalem; Kevin Munger, Pennsylvania State University; and
Gerard Goggin, University of Sydney and Victor Kuansong Zhuang, National
Technological University.

On a personal note, as the now-retired founding editor of IJoC, I am
particularly pleased that this Forum is among my final editorial tasks, as
it represents many of the qualities IJoC was intended to embody and that I
am confident will be continued and strengthened by the current editor and
our colleagues.
    We invite you to read these articles that published in the 
International
Journal of Communication on February 7, 2024. Please log into ijoc.org to
read the papers of interest. We look forward to your feedback!

Founding Editor
