New Issue Released: Volume 10, Issue 1
The Journal of Public Interest Communications has released Volume 10, Issue 1, mapping the influence of nonprofits, social media platforms, and civic actors on public discourse and depolarization.
The latest issue of the Journal of Public Interest Communications, Volume 9, Issue 1, challenges traditional assumptions about how social change is communicated. Read it now.
This open-access issue challenges traditional assumptions about how social change is communicated. Rather than defaulting to urgency and harm, the research and practitioner perspectives in this edition center joy, complexity, and cultural resilience, not just as outcomes of justice, but as powerful strategies to achieve it.
“In strategic communications, we’re often taught to lead with urgency or highlight problems, but that can unintentionally center trauma,” said Dr. Kelly Chernin, journal co-editor. “This issue invites us to ask: What becomes possible when we lead instead with joy, community, and creative power?”
From research on narrative strategies for period poverty to interviews with Black feminist scholars reframing public health and historical visibility, this issue explores the transformative potential of storytelling as a tool for healing, resistance, and possibility.
