📚 Yaroslava Kutsai has published a new book review in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly on Adrienne Russell’s "The Mediated Climate: How Journalists, Big Tech, and Activists Are Vying for Our Future".
The review reflects on climate communication, misinformation, digital platforms, journalism, and the need for collective responses to today’s intertwined ecological and media crises.
🎙️ Nico Carpentier joined James Campbell for the Intellect Books & Journals series In Conversation.
The discussion moves from discourse theory, participation, and democracy to colonialism, music, favourite cuisines, and academic life — with reflections on resilience and hope in difficult times.
