About the Book:


In an era defined by digital connectivity and global interdependence, the role of journalism has evolved into a dynamic force for change and dialogue. The upcoming edited volume titled Digital Dispatches: Empowering Voices in the Glocal Sphere examines the transformative impact of digital journalism on fostering connectivity, dialogue, and social change on a global scale.

The emergence of social and digital journalism has not only revolutionized the dissemination and consumption of information but has also reshaped the very essence of traditional media. This paradigm shift towards a more inclusive and participatory model is at the heart of our exploration.

As editors and contributors to this volume, we recognize the profound significance of these shifts and aim to uncover their multi-layered dimensions. The book will look into key themes such as glocalization, citizen journalism, the influence of social media on news consumption, evolving storytelling techniques, and the imperative of community-centric journalism. These themes collectively illuminate how digital journalism is reshaping our collective understanding and engagement with critical societal issues.

Our exploration incorporates diverse perspectives from around the world, acknowledging the interconnected nature of our contemporary reality—a blend of the global and the local. Through compelling case studies from India, Brazil, Kenya, Indonesia, and Mexico, we showcase how digital technologies serve as catalysts for empowering communities and amplifying voices within local contexts that resonate globally.

Coverage: We request potential authors to consider submitting their scholarly findings to enrich the content of this intended volume. The book will cover the following topics, but not limited to:
