ABSTRACT Over the past three decades, scholarship on radio and audio media has evolved in tandem with transformations in production technologies, distribution platforms, and listening practices. Early radio studies focused on broadcasting systems, regulation, and programming, while recent work increasingly engages digital audio platforms, podcasting, and creator-driven sound cultures. Yet limited attention has been given to how these shifts appear within the publication record of journals dedicated to radio and audio media. This study presents a retrospective bibliometric and content analysis of 570 articles published between 1997 and 2025, encompassing the Journal of Radio Studies (1997–2007) and the Journal of Radio & Audio Media (2008–2025). Using the journal archive as corpus, the study examines publication trends, topical emphases, methodological approaches, and patterns of authorship and geographic representation. By mapping these dynamics across nearly three decades, it highlights continuity and change in the field while identifying underrepresented areas and future research opportunities.

Abstract Dalits’ cultural production has received significant attention for its role in shaping the Indian cultural landscape (Browarczyk, Monika. 2013. The double curse–a Dalit woman autobiography in Hindi by Kausalya Baisantri. Cracow Indological Studies 15(2). 169–187, Browarczyk, Monika. 2021. WE are Dalit history: Hindi Dalit autobiographies and their engagements with India’s past and present. Cracow Indological Studies 23(2). 1–39; Brueck, Laura. 2014. Writing resistance. The rhetorical imagination of Hindi Dalit literature . New York, NY: Columbia University Press (ebook edition); Wessler, Heinz W. 2019. From marginalisation to rediscovery of identity: Dalit and Adivasi voices in Hindi literature. Studia Neophilologica 92(2). 159–174). However, the function of humor and satire in articulating social assertions by Dalit authors when emphasizing the idea of individual and collective trauma remains underexplored. While some contributions investigated the role of comedy in the shows of a new generation of Dalit stand-up comedians (Shivaprasad, Madhavi. 2020. Humour and the margins: Stand-up comedy and caste in India. IAFOR. Journal of Media, Communication & Film 7(1). 23–42, 2022), little attention has been paid to the connections between stand-up comedy and other cultural areas that previously articulated claims of Dalit consciousness ( Dalit chetna ) in the Indian public sphere. This study investigates life narratives produced in Hindi autobiography and stand-up comedy, examining the extent to which humor and satire have been used by Dalit authors as empowering instruments to process trauma (Garrick, Jacqueline. 2006. The humor of trauma survivors: Its application in a therapeutic milie. Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma 12 (1, 2): 171–172). It also traces key sociocultural shifts occurring in the narratives produced by Dalit authors in Hindi or Hinglish. The first section offers a critical analysis of Murdahiya (2010), a Hindi autobiography by Tulsi Ram, a prominent author and activist of Hindi Dalit literature. The second reflects on narratives by contemporary stand-up comedians with a focus on Manjeet Sarkar, a rising figure in alternative stand-up comedy.

This study employs a bibliometric approach to analyze publication trends, research patterns, and collaboration networks in the field of digital da’wah (Islamic digital preaching) within Islamic studies. Using data extracted from the Dimensions database and visualized through VOSviewer, the research identifies significant developments in this domain. Findings reveal a marked increase in digital da’wah research in recent years, reflected by growing publication outputs and participation from diverse institutions and scholars worldwide. However, the analysis indicates limited collaborative networks among researchers, highlighting the need for stronger interdisciplinary and cross-regional partnerships. Key themes emerging from the literature include digital communication strategies, the role of social media in da’wah, and the opportunities and challenges of preaching in the digital era. This study maps the current landscape of digital da’wah research and suggests future directions, such as broader data coverage and deeper methodological exploration. The findings provide valuable insights for scholars and practitioners working at the dynamic intersection of Islamic propagation and evolving communication technologies.

The Journal of Medicine, Humanity and Media is honored to present its second issue of 2025, marking the final collection of exceptional scholarship from the 7th International Conference on "Medicine, Humanity and Media" (MHM2024). This edition encapsulates the vibrant discourse on health communication in an era defined by rapid technological advancement and complex societal challenges, offering a synthesis of empirical rigor, theoretical reflection, and actionable insights.

Radio broadcasting is a significant communication medium in modern society. Since the early 1900s, radio broadcasting has progressed alongside technological advancements and scholarly discussions. Thus, a bibliometric analysis of radio broadcasting is essential. This study utilized a bibliometric framework to identify trends, patterns, and advancements in radio broadcasting literature. The Scopus database was utilized for data collection via a bibliometric literature review. The gathered data was assessed through bibliometric indicators such as author review, journal analysis, country evaluation, and trend analysis. The research methodology is quantitative, focusing on numerical data and statistical analysis for data processing. Selecting the quantitative methodology was driven by the need to integrate the numerical data with statistical computations. Consequently, this study adopted a quantitative research framework employing bibliometric techniques. The findings revealed that most authors published few articles, while some had high citation counts, reflecting low productivity in this field. The journal "Journal of Radio and Audio Media" is acknowledged for its quality. The United States is the leading country in scholarly publications on radio broadcasting. Recent trends in the field include "radio broadcasting," "radio," "television broadcasting," and "digital radio." Enhancing author productivity and fostering cross-institutional collaboration in radio broadcasting research is crucial for further advancement.

Journal of Children and Media comes of age: An introduction to the special section

ABSTRACT The television writers’ room is a major site of screen production that brings writers together for funded periods of development for series ideas with potential, and the script development processes for series in production. Maloney and Burne have described Australian television writers’ rooms as, ‘a place where story developers, script editors, script writers and script producers gather to create stories, devise character arcs and plot episodes’ [2021, So Much Drama, So Little Time: Writers’ Rooms in Australian Television Drama Production.” In Script Development. Critical Approaches, Creative Practices, International Perspectives, edited by Craig Batty and Stayci Taylor, 185–204. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan]. Television production in Australia, and many other countries, has a history of creative hierarchies and script departments, isolated from the rest of production, with highly systemised creative processes [Maloney and Burne 2021] [O’Meara 2022, “Scriptwriting on the Inside: The Streamlined System of Prisoner and the Collaborative Community of Wentworth.” In TV Transformations and Transgressive Women: From Prisoner: Cell Block H to Wentworth, edited by Radha O’Meara, Tessa Dwyer, Stayci Taylor, and Craig Batty, 63–80. London: Peter Lang]. This article considers Australia’s evolving writers’ room dynamics and hierarchies by way of an observational study of a ‘training’ writers’ room. The ‘trainees’, a new generation of writers, were more diverse than the typical writers’ room demographic. The point of the simulation was to educate the 10 new writers in the norms of behaviour expected in writers’ rooms and the values of ‘good’ television storytelling. A senior writer in Australian television drama led the writers in developing a hypothetical second series of an existing drama. The room was run according to industry standards, with some exceptions. The room explicitly practised inclusivity, and as a training exercise, common roles, expectations and values – often tacitly accepted in professional settings – were explicitly questioned and discussed. One of the authors, Radha O’Meara, participated in the room. From this fieldwork, the authors are able to make a study of the possibilities for disrupting power dynamics and unproductive hierarchies, building on other observational studies of television production [Born 2005; Hartzheim 2024. “Crafting Consensus in Anime’s Writer’s Room: Uchiawase as Script Development.” Mechademia 16 (2): 75–98; Phalen and Osellame 2012. “Writing Hollywood: Rooms with a Point of View.” Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media 56 (1): 3–20; Redvall 2013. Writing and Producing Television Drama in Denmark: From The Kingdom to The Killing. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan].

The Journal of Medicine, Humanity and Media begins 2025 with a rich collection of research that continues to explore critical themes from the 7th International Conference on “Medicine, Humanity and Media” (MHM2024). While our previous issue focused on health communication for enhanced resilience, this issue presents diverse perspectives and empirical studies that illuminate contemporary health communication challenges, particularly in our increasingly digital and complex healthcare environment.

The latest volume of "The Journal of Medicine, Humanity and Media" explores the intersection of technology and health communication in contemporary China. Key studies highlight the role of intelligent communication tools, media representations, historical discourse, and social capital in improving doctor-patient interactions and public engagement. These contributions emphasize adaptive strategies and cultural contexts to enhance health communication, offering valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers. This volume aims to inspire innovation and collaboration in the evolving digital landscape of health communication.

The study examined the trends in the adoption and implementation of Open Education Resources (OER) in higher education institutions (HEIs) by conducting a bibliometric analysis of 911 publications between 2004 and 2022 from the Dimensions database. The VOSviewer1.6.19 software was used to establish visualization networks on the most influential authors, countries and universities. Further analysis was made to establish publications with higher citations, co-authorship collaborations and the co-occurrence of keywords. The results indicate a steady growth of research articles on OER due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The developed countries had a higher rate of research publications and stronger collaboration patterns in OER than the African countries. The analysis of citation score indicates that the “International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education” and “Journal of Interactive Media in Education” were the most popular journals on the topic. The results indicate that the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Spain had the highest links in terms of co-authorship collaboration. In contrast, African countries such as Uganda, Cameroon and Tunisia had very minimal links in terms of co-authorship on the topic. The analysis of keywords occurrence revealed several opportunities for adopting and implementing OER in HEIs which include easy accessibility of digital content and inquiry-based learning. Most of the identified limitations of the implementation of OER in HEIs in sub-Saharan African countries were the high costs of commercial e-textbooks and inadequate funding. Limited knowledge of the institutionalization of OER, institutional low capacity to adopt OER and lack of policies as well as awareness were identified as other factors constraining the effective implementation of OER. This bibliometric analysis provides insights on limitations for effective implementation and institutionalization of OER in HEIs in African countries and paves the way for future research direction on the topic.

Social Media is a researched domain that result in a variety of articles with increasingly relevant results for science and organizations. In this first regular issue of 2022 of the International Journal of Marketing, Communication and New Media (IJMCNM) , in six of the ten articles, problems of youtube advertising, consumer social media engagement with video, the impact of digital influencers, the effects of different social media platforms to companies’ sales marketing processes, product and service orientation on social media in restaurant communication, are analyzed. As Almousa, Alsaikhan and Aloud (2020) point out, “social media have changed communication landscape and have clearly affected the marketing communication, where it becomes one of the most common daily activities for consumers” (p.79). Ulas (2020) citing Seo & Park (2018), even says that, “the dramatic rise of social media in every field is remarkable. In this new communication environment, social media is becoming both more convenient and more important. Social media applications lead many companies to use them in stakeholder communication, marketing activities, customer and brand management and organizational communication activities” (p. 9). (...)

To inaugurate our series of conversations with scholars in journalism studies with a view to securing some useful insights into the history and practice of journalism education, Prof. Richard Lance Keeble appeared an obvious choice. Now an Honorary Professor at Liverpool Hope University, Prof. Keeble was first director of the International Journalism MA, then director of the Journalism and Social Science BA, at City University, London (1984-2003). He was then appointed Professor of Journalism (2003-present) at Lincoln University where he also became acting head of the Lincoln School of Journalism (2010-2013) and later a Visiting Professor at Liverpool Hope University (2015-2019). Prof. Keeble has been the recipient of prestigious and distinguished prizes, namely the National Teaching Fellowship Award (2011) and the Lifetime Achievement Award for services to journalism education (2014), the latter bestowed by the Association for Journalism Education in the UK. Parallel to his academic career, Prof. Keeble has always been a practising journalist. On completion of his studies in Modern History at Keble College, Oxford University (1967-70), he started a career in journalism, first as sub editor at the Nottingham Guardian Journal/Evening Post (1970-73) and then at the Cambridge Evening News (1973-77). He was deputy editor, then editor, of The Teacher, the weekly newspaper of the National Union of Teachers (1977-84). His dual pedigree in journalism, as a practitioner and a professor, led him to take on many editorial responsibilities. He is emeritus editor of Ethical Space: The International Journal of Communication and Ethics and joint editor of George Orwell Studies and is also on the board of an impressive number of journals, among which are Journalism Studies, Digital Journalism, Journalism Education, International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics, Media Ethics, Journalism: Theory, Practice & Criticism, to name just a few. Prof. Keeble was also Chair of the Orwell Society1 (2013-2020) and has authored or edited no less than 44 books. They include Ethics for Journalists and The Newspapers Handbook,2 respectively on their second and fifth editions, as well as several volumes on George Orwell, investigative journalism, and the British media. It was an honour and privilege to talk to Prof. Keeble in a phone interview on March 25, 2021. The conversation was transcribed while some passages were edited for clarity. I hereby express my immense gratitude for his time, generosity, expertise, and humour. It is such a thrill to start our series of interviews in a way that only makes us want more such conversations.
