Declining or Waning

There is a noticeable decrease in studies focusing on the historical analysis of early media forms, such as radio and print journalism from the 20th century. This decline may indicate a growing interest in contemporary media practices over historical retrospectives. - Focus on Non-Digital Media:
As digital platforms become increasingly dominant, the journal has seen a reduction in articles discussing non-digital forms of media, such as community radio and traditional television. This trend reflects the broader digital transformation in communication.
