Call for ECREA European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School 2026 is out!

Deadline: February 13, 2026

Exciting times for the journal, folks. In the last 10 days, we've accepted our first manuscript and issued "accept, pending" decisions on two others.

It's fab seeing the work come together, from remarkably rigorous and detailed peer review to equally detailed and engaging Author replies. =)

Wrapping up those #ICA26 submissions? Don't forget to send your work to Global Perspectives in Communication! We take brief reports (4K words) & original manuscripts (8K) words w/o formatting requirements. Publications are open-access, and initial review is~30 days.

At #ICA25, we hosted around two dozen early career scholars for a peer review workshop. A few takeaways, for those interested, follow in this thread.

NOTE: We hear a rumor that @icahdq.bsky.social might share some more details on the workshop later, and we'll be there also. =)

How can you tell if your paper is a good editorial fit for us? We're very open to the "anything under the tent" at @icahdq.bsky.social. If a paper had been priorly accepted at #ICA25 (or even earlier), let us know in your editorial letter - that's at least a good signal for fit!

A question we've gotten lately, "Is it okay to submit my #ICA25 paper to your journal?"

It absolutely is! Of course, a few suggestions that you might keep in mind as you prepare those manuscripts for us:

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

Happy to share that today I officially started as a postdoc at CULCORC and the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism at Charles University in Prague. I am working on - very topical - peace discourses in the Russian-Ukrainian war, under the supervision of @nicocarpentier.bsky.social

The challenge of combating #hatespeech, #misinfo & #disinformation while safeguarding freedom of speech is real. Given the high stakes—public health, electoral integrity, social cohesion & democratic resilience—we must carefully evaluate how to maintain this balance. A few thoughts...🧵
