Newsletter: September 2025

Dear colleagues,

Welcome to the September 2025 edition of the IAMCR Political Communication Research Section newsletter. As we head into a new academic season, this issue brings exciting updates from across our community, including the announcement of our first Africa Regional Conference, new academic job opportunities at NUS, and a rich selection of upcoming calls for papers spanning AI, digital culture, and media in conflict. We also highlight recent publications exploring cross-border journalism, media trust, and propaganda narratives. We hope this newsletter inspires continued engagement and collaboration across borders and disciplines.

Read the newsletter.

Our next newsletter will be out in November. If you have anything to be included in the newsletter, please email us a paragraph of about 50-100 words as presented in the sections below (and links, images and other details you would like to share) about new calls for papers, job positions, information on upcoming conferences, or your recent publications (peer-reviewed papers and books of established publication houses) by 24 October. The email addresses are anweshachakrabortyunibo@gmail.com and y.zeng@leeds.ac.uk.

Happy reading!
