PUBLICATIONS

Social Media in Asia: Changing Paradigms in Communication

Edited by: Rachel Khan and Azman Azwan Azmawati

This book contributes to a better understanding of social media within the context of Southeast Asian countries, with the addition of Sri Lanka. The contributors here are primarily Asian academics and practitioners, immersed in the fields of media and communication. Social media has changed the paradigm of communication in the region: as an avenue for free expression; as a tool for news gathering and news distribution; as an aid in crime prevention; and even as a means to find a lifelong partner.

PUBLICATIONS

Media and Culture: Global Homogeneity and Local Identity

Edited by: Rachel Khan

This book explores media’s role in promoting the local culture vis-à-vis the global media trend. Select papers from the recent international conference of the Asian Congress for Media and Communication examine the growing role of the mass media’s cultural influence and how it can be either a hindrance or a help in promoting local cultures instead of serving as a tool for global homogenization..

brought about by these challenges to mass media and communication as a result of the

emerging social media and the changing sociopolitical economy of media institutions.n..
