Beskrivning

An interdisciplinary and international roster of contributors foregrounds rural and remote communities as dynamic sites of innovation, struggle, and cultural (re)negotiation amid digitalization.Although media scholarship has long privileged urban spaces, more research is needed to examine how digital technologies, platform infrastructures, and evolving media practices are reshaping life beyond metropolitan centers. Contributors employ a range of global case studies from Italy to Kazakhstan to The Lithium Triangle and beyond to explore how rural actors engage with platforms, navigate shifting information ecologies, sustain journalistic practices, and adapt to technological transformations in everyday life, governance, and agriculture. Through these explorations, this volume positions rural media studies as a distinct and urgently needed subfield with the potential to challenge urban biases and widen the conceptual and methodological horizons of media research.

Too often, the rural is placed only in contrast to the urban, understood as an absence rather than a presence. Rural Media Studies corrects this, placing rurality at the center of a rich, global and deeply textured narrative. Blending inviting storytelling, vital empirical data and thoughtful theoretical discussions, Rural Media Studies dismantles the dated rural monolith, highlights the varied realities of communities across continents and demonstrates how structural inequalities play out across different media landscapes and platforms. The result is a fresh, important and genuinely urgent perspective that reshapes how we understand the rural in everyday life.
