The editors must be applauded for assembling a real global team of authors that combine Western with non-Western academic perspectives in a most timely manner. Kamalipour and Pavlik's excellent collection reminds us how in our digital environment it is up to all of us to tell stories that connect, rather than divide--especially when our news media keep driving us apart. One of the key challenges for communication research is to capture the intensely image-driven interconnected cultural environment that defines our modern existence. Communicating Global Crises revisits sophisticated theoretical frameworks and provides a roadmap for navigating profound global crises and helping create a harmonious environment for people and communities around the world. We live in an era of existential global crises, ideological polarization, and cultural clashes. Central to understanding the current moment is the complex interplay among elites, publics, and a digital media environment that can be simultaneously informative and inflammatory, mobilizing and silencing, democratizing and authoritarian. Bringing together an impressive group of international scholars, Kamalipour and Pavlik's Communicating Global Crises sheds significant light on this interplay and its potential for contributing to--or working against--a more just and inclusive future.
