International Journal of Communication Publishes a Book Review Forum on Eszter Hargittai’s Connected in Isolation

One of the wonderful affordances of non-commercial online publishing is the ability to solicit and present contributions that fall outside the narrow confines of scholarly research articles. As one of IJoC’s core missions is to raise the profile (and increase the quantity) of book reviews, we have occasionally taken the opportunity provided by the publication of a provocative and timely book to invite a number of colleagues to reflect on the questions and issues raised by that work, followed by a response from the author. The recent publication of Eszter Hargittai’s Connected in Isolation: Digital Privilege in Unsettling Times was just such an occasion and our judgment was quickly confirmed by the enthusiasm of the colleagues we approached. Thus, it is indeed a pleasure for us to present a collection of insightful and stimulating responses to a book that is sure to become a milestone in contemporary media scholarship. 

The distinguished colleagues who have contributed to this forum are Paul DiMaggio, New York University; Hyunjin Seo, University of Kansas; Daniel Kreiss, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Amy Gonzales, University of California, Santa Barbara; Lee Humphreys, Cornell University; Teresa Correa, Universidad Diego Portales; Dmitry Epstein, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem; Kevin Munger, Pennsylvania State University; and Gerard Goggin, University of Sydney and Victor Kuansong Zhuang, National Technological University.

On a personal note, as the now-retired founding editor of IJoC, I am particularly pleased that this Forum is among my final editorial tasks, as it represents many of the qualities IJoC was intended to embody and that I am confident will be continued and strengthened by the current editor and our colleagues.

We invite you to read these articles that published in the International Journal of Communication on February 7, 2024. Please log into ijoc.org to read the papers of interest. We look forward to your feedback!
