The content in this issue accentuates several core areas of the field, such as policy and law, international communication, risk com-munication, media framing, and mainstream news analysis. Each contribution animates these domains with topics of urgency that range in focus from algorithmic gender and race bias in broadcasting policy, cultural diversity on video streaming platforms, the commo-dification of user data through platform authentication processes, the fraught and evolving journalistic efforts at covering Indigenous sovereignty actions, the representation of robotics and AI in explora-tory journalism, and a participatory approach to the communication and management of risk. To this end, issue 48.4 provides a snapshot of some of the pressing concerns in Canadian research and scholar-ship in the field of communication studies. 收起
