Aims & Scope

The Communicator is a platform for communication scholars across the world, with a special emphasis on providing opportunities for scholars in South Asia who are frequently deprived of enough international exposure.

In many parts of the World, including in South Asia, "communication," often is still not considered as a 'discipline. 'Instead, it is 'used' by other 'mainstream' disciplines to serve their promotional purpose.

It's time that communication scholars unitedly demonstrate their strength as a discipline, especially in South Asia where the STEM disciplines often get more attention, opportunities and institutional support in the form of research funding. In many parts of the World, for instance in India, there is not even a research board on communication in the Indian government which can authorize funds for communication research.

Scholarship in communication is enriched by its interdisciplinary approach - strengthening the discipline itself and other disciplines connected to research in communication. We will strive to celebrate this interdisciplinarity of the field.

It is with these aims - exploring more opportunities and to develop more of its own independent methodologies - that The Communicator has been launched.
