The Journal of Interdisciplinary Humanities and Communication Studies (JIHCS) serves as a scholarly platform dedicated to bridging the gap between traditional humanities and the evolving field of communication. It operates as a standard peer-reviewed publication, ensuring that all articles undergo a rigorous evaluation process by experts in the field to maintain academic integrity and quality.

The journal's primary mission is to foster a dialogue that transcends single-discipline boundaries, encouraging researchers to explore how cultural, historical, and linguistic contexts influence—and are influenced by—modern communication practices.

  • Media and Cultural Studies: Analysis of digital media, film, television, and social media through the lens of cultural theory.
