Vol. 28 No. 1 & 2 (2022): Media change, adaptation and culture

Edition editors: Philip Cass, Khairiah A. Rahman and David Robie

This edition of Pacific Journalism Review draws on the focus of the Asian Congress for Media and Communication (ACMC) conference hosted at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in November 2021. The themed articles 'echo those who cherish freedom of the press and truth'. In what is described as 'an age of growing hate, intolerance and disinformation', the need to hold the line against a 'disinfodemic' of distortion and falsehood is even more vital. The edition also carries a Frontline section of four articles about Aotearoa New Zealand's unprecedented 23-day siege of Parliament by anti-vaccination and conspiracy theorist protesters, including research by The Disinformation Project. The Photoessay features the growing kava culture with a series of evocative images by Todd Henry.
