Background: This research aimed to provide young people in a juvenile rehabilitation centre (JRC) with access and exposure to virtual reality (VR) as a growing media technology industry, to offer media education that was fun and engaging, and to introduce the digital arts to participants as a potential career path. The project evolved through a partnership with the Washington State Librarian who, as a part of her role overseeing public library activities, wanted to ensure that newly acquired VR equipment was made available to as many people as possible. This effort included libraries within sites of incarceration. Analysis: This article presents a reflective and analytical discussion on the success and challenges of creating, implementing, and researching a VR art design program in a JRC. Conclusions and implications: Carceral logics are entangled in research and education, in constant tension with anti-oppressive methods in place. Improvisational action as a design method in media education programs, including VR art design with incarcerated youth, may support greater participation and stronger research outcomes.

Context: In intellectual work and cultural policy documents related to the francophone media market, the struggle between the old mechanisms, bound to the physical infrastructure of the land, and the new virtual ones is recast as a competition between nation and globalism, between québécois—a local accent seen as a marker of national character and self-recognition—and the linguistic construct of français international—spoken only on the dubbing stage. Analysis: This article examines how dubbing practices become acts of cultural diplomacy in the clash between legacy and platform distribution. Conclusions and Implications: Ambivalent towards traditional displays of national selfhood, the Québec dubbing industry insists that its cultural identity is more accurately represented through participation in the global market rather than through regional accents.

There is no one journalism. There are several journalisms with different aims and functions. They could be positioned on a continuum from the highest democratic functions to the deepest needs for entertainment, a continuum from reason to emotion, from democracy to diversion.

Background: The field of acoustic ecology emerged from Simon Fraser University in the late 1960s during which time R. Murray Schafer and the World Soundscape Project studied everyday soundscapes and the rise of urban noise. While it was an innovative approach to understanding the relationship between humans and their environments, it reproduced the dominant frameworks of this period. Analysis: This article argues that contemporary acoustic ecology discourse continues to frame noise, silence, and urban acoustic design through a white normative and colour-blind listening framework. This article examines dominant authorship and citation practices within leading journals that publish soundscape literature as well as sound mapping practices. Conclusion: After also surveying seldom-cited soundscape research that interrogates the environmental listening and sound-making practices of BIPOC and marginalized communities, the article concludes that there is a need for contemporary soundscape research to incorporate more intersectional and decolonial modes of environmental listening.

Background: Within research and teaching concerning broadcasting policymaking, there are evident gaps in Canadian communication studies that marginalize the self-determination of people who are Indigenous, racialized, or living with disAbilities. Analysis: The scholar-activism of the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC) seeks to expand the canon of Canadian communications scholarship, especially in the area of broadcasting policy, to include Canada’s history of colonialism and discrimination against racialized people. Conclusion and Implications: This article summarizes the lessons CMAC is learning about broadcasting policy advocacy, scholarship, and education in Canada while advancing its critical and intersectional approach to disrupting settler colonialism and oppression in the media.
