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.

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:

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
