Communication Studies has always been a field with diverse perspectives. Through the shared interest in "media," communication scholars scrutinize conflicts and developments in society, and complex power relations among stakeholders. Interdisciplinary research is not uncommon in Communication Studies. By collaborating and contending with scholars from different fields, new perspectives on media and social relations have been vigorously generated. This issue features a dialogue, five research articles, and a communication forum. From diverse perspectives with various methods, we hope to explore with our readers the impact of media on contemporary society and its potential for change.
