Issue 40 of the Comunicação Pública journal is now available online. The new issue of the scientific journal of ESCS and LIACOM includes a thematic dossier dedicated to the topic “Public Service Media and Innovation.”

The new issue is available for open access on the Open Journal System (OJS) website.

Issue with a Thematic Dossier

The dossier “Public Service Media and Innovation,” edited by Elton Bruno Pinheiro and Luís António Santos, lecturers at the University of Minho and researchers at the Centre for Communication and Society Studies, brings together a set of articles aimed at understanding how Public Service Media, across different territories, are innovating, can and/or should innovate, or face challenges to innovation (in programming, management, social participation, funding, and regulation). This takes place particularly within a political-economic and sociocultural context in which phenomena such as disinformation, hate speech, and various forms of populism are increasingly present—especially in the socio-digital media environment—placing society, citizenship, democracy, and life itself under strain.

In addition to the thematic dossier, which comprises 9 articles, the new issue also includes one article and two book reviews.
