About the Journal

Lontara Journal of Media, Culture, and Social Dynamics is an interdisciplinary journal aimed at exploring the complex relationships between media, culture, and social dynamics in both local and global contexts. The journal publishes original research articles, theoretical contributions, case studies, and critical reviews that examine how media, particularly in the digital era, influences cultural identity, social structures, and social change within society. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the role of media in shaping cultural narratives and identities, the impact of digital technologies and social media on communication and social interaction, the role of media in political and social movements, the global circulation of culture through media, and the evolution of media in relation to social change. This journal seeks to provide a platform for scholars from diverse disciplines, such as communication studies, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, to present research that investigates how media and culture interact with social dynamics in a constantly changing world. With a focus on both theoretical and empirical studies, this journal also explores the influence of media on global and local cultures, including issues of representation, power, and social transformation. By connecting scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, Lontara Journal of Media, Culture, and Social Dynamics contributes to the ongoing dialogue regarding the role of media and culture in contemporary social life.
