Our new Editorial Board

Abstract

Welcome to Issue No. 3 of 2023 This general issue showcases yet another diverse array of scholarly articles that cut across our rich and ever-growing discipline of Communication. Readers will be treated to well-researched and written papers – which may be deemed eclectic or magnificent, depending on the perspective one might adopt – on the following topics: Twitter analysis of controversy surrounding J K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series; failed rituals of news-sharing; sharenting behaviourism; partisan-motivation in falsehood and satire on social media; psychology and communication in learning settings among university students; consumer trust and pharmaceutical advertising strategies; and, the de/construction of the soft power discourse in Hallyu, otherwise known as the ‘Korean Wave’ phenomenon. I trust you will enjoy reading these articles, and in doing so, spark a new research project of your own. Perhaps you might cite a few references and submit your completed research article to this journal, formulating and rounding-off a research ecosystem in the process? I sure hope so. Regular readers of Communication Research and Practice would be aware that I put forward a call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) for new Editorial Board members in Issue 1, 2023. We were looking for both established and emerging Communication scholars and thinkers, with preferences for our current readership base and members of the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA). I am pleased to report that, in consultation with the Editorial Advisory Group, the following colleagues have been appointed to the Editorial Board with effect from this issue:
