Issue 25/3 Published

In the General Section, we are particularly pleased to feature two contributions from the French-speaking part of our scholarly community—France and Quebec.  This focus also reflects the journal’s mission: situated at the crossroads of the German-, French-, and Italian-speaking worlds, SComS is committed to representing and connecting communication research across linguistic regions.  We believe that such exchange across language areas greatly enriches communication studies. The Community   Section also demonstrates the vitality of our scholarly community. It features the dissertation summary by Kiran Kappeler, who received the 2025 Dissertation Award from the  Swiss  Association of Communication and  Media  Research(SACM).  In addition,  Sabrina  Kessler provides nuanced insights into the role of generative artificial intelligence in students’  everyday academic work at the University of Zurich.

This issue also marks the launch of the redesigned SComS website, which aligns the journal’s digital presence more closely with the print edition and introduces an updated and coherent visual identity.

We extend our sincere thanks to the authors for their contributions, the reviewers for their valuable feedback, and our editorial and publishing partners for their continued support.

Enjoy reading!
