Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Communication:
There is a notable trend in exploring the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on communication practices, particularly in governmental health communication and public response. This theme addresses how crises shape communication strategies and public engagement. - Digital and Social Media Influence:
The influence of social media on communication dynamics is gaining traction, with studies focusing on metrics, branding, and cultural impact among users, particularly youth. This reflects a growing recognition of digital spaces as crucial for contemporary communication. - Strategic Partnerships and Sustainability:
Emerging research emphasizes the role of strategic partnerships in addressing sustainability challenges, particularly in sectors like food security and corporate social responsibility. This trend highlights collaboration as a key component in achieving social goals. - Cultural Identity and Marginality:
There is an increasing focus on cultural identity, representation, and marginalization within communication studies, particularly in the South African context. This theme underscores the importance of inclusivity and diverse perspectives in communication research. - Innovative Learning Approaches in Communication Education:
The exploration of new educational methodologies, such as experiential learning and blended learning in communication programs, is trending. This reflects a shift towards preparing students for the complexities of modern communication landscapes.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Media Studies:
There appears to be a waning interest in traditional media studies, particularly in examining conventional broadcast practices. The recent titles suggest a shift towards digital and social media platforms, leaving less room for discussions centered solely on traditional media. - Static Communication Models:
Research focusing on static models of communication, such as one-way communication frameworks, has decreased. The current trend leans towards dynamic and interactive communication methods that reflect contemporary social engagement. - Crisis Communication:
Although crisis communication was once a focal point, particularly during the pandemic, the frequency of studies on this theme has diminished as the focus shifts to broader communication strategies and long-term sustainability. - Local Historical Contexts:
While historical perspectives remain important, there seems to be less emphasis on localized historical analyses in communication, with more recent works focusing on contemporary issues and future-oriented studies.
