Description
The 2030 agenda for development, or what is known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is perhaps the most ambitious agenda collectively agreed upon by 193 countries in human history. Yet, the framers of the 2030 agenda for development forgot to dedicate one goal focused on the role of communication in achieving the SDGs. Such oversight has attracted the attention of media and communication scholars alike, journalists, and policymakers who understand that it is nearly impossible to achieve the SDGs without the articulation and embrace of the role of communication in development. Volume 2 provides in-depth and specific explorations into regional perspectives concerning communication and the SDGs, with research on a rich array of sources, including Latin America, Africa, Australia, as well as special cases relating to timely studies such as social media, COVID-19, marginalized voices, and women's equality.
Reviews / Votes
This book has filled an important gap in communication for development. The country perspectives across different regions of the world have shown that communication is inevitable in addressing key development challenges such as poverty, hunger, climate change, peace and governance. The UN should consider SDG18 as a goal in the SDGs. - Abdalla Uba Adamu , Professor, Department of Information and Media Studies, Bayero University, Kano, Nigeria. This book thematizes the contradiction between the omnipresence of communication and the secondary role it is often attributed. The book's contributions unpack how communication has the ability to nourish the redistribution of power and open spaces for global dialogue.- Nico Carpentier , President, International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR)More details
