Agenda

RESUME

This preconference aims to examine the production, distribution, and consumption of media and communication in global Latinidades. It follows up to the four preconferences held in the context of the 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 Annual Meetings of the International Communication Association – on Digital Journalism in Latin America in 2019, on Digital Media in Latin America in 2020, on Digital Media in Latinx and Latin America in 2021, and on Media & Communication in Global Latinidades in 2022.

In this fifth edition, we continue to center on media and communication practices of the Latinx and Latin American experience globally. Despite its long history, research about Latinx and Latin American topics — largely made by Latinx and Latin American researchers worldwide — tends to be underrepresented in communication scholarship in general, and in ICA in particular. In this sense, the preconference will address the theme of media and communication in local, global and/or transnational Latinx and Latin American experiences, such as those related to issues of access, practices, representations, markets, technologies and more.
