About the 67th issue

We are delighted to present the latest issue of the ConnectIST Istanbul University Journal of Communication Sciences. This issue includes seven original research articles. As with our previous issues, curating the 67th edition involved significant dedication and effort. First, we thank our guest editors, Associate Professor Yeşim Kaptan from Kent State University and Professor Ece Algan from California State University. We would also like to thank our authors, peers, and ConncetIst readers who participated in our virtual conference. Since 2021, we have been organizing virtual conferences for our thematic issues to reach colleagues abroad. It was a great honor and excitement for the ConnectIST team as we received many abstracts from different parts of the world for the last virtual conference themed, ‘Television in the Global South,” which was held on 14-15 March 2024. The participation of authors and readers from many countries showed us that our efforts to introduce the journal were not in vain. At least we believe in this issue; we ‘connected’ scholars from various parts of the world around the discussions of ‘Television in the Global South.’
