Declining or Waning

There is a noticeable reduction in studies examining generic political communication without the lens of digital engagement or social media, indicating a move towards more context-specific and platform-oriented research. - Static Cultural Studies:
Research that does not account for the dynamic nature of digital interactions and their impact on culture is becoming less frequent, as the journal prioritizes studies that reflect the evolving cultural landscape. - Overarching Theoretical Frameworks:
