Issue 19/1 available

Dear Colleagues, Authors and Readers:

We are happy to present you the first issue of 2019. As has happened quite regularly since the migration of SComS to the HOPE platform, also this issue features, beyond the general section, a thematic section. This time, our thematic section is devoted to crises seen from a perspective of political communication. We are happy and proud that many authors and contributors are willing to publish thematic sections with SComS, which propose cutting-edge research and open fresh perspectives on communication studies.

We would like to especially thank our thematic section editors Julia Metag and Caroline Dalmus very much for the pleasant cooperation. Finally, we wish to thank once again our two partners, the whole Open Access team from the Main Library of the University of Zurich and Peter Rusterholz and Christine Hirzel from the Seismo Verlag.

We hope that you will enjoy reading this issue.

Philipp Bachmann

On behalf of the Editorial Board
