The internationalization of research in the Media and Communication field offers great potential but faces significant challenges in including scholars from the Global South. Emerging technologies and practices, such as digital media, online publishing, and non-profit open-access initiatives, can democratize scholarly dissemination. These tools help overcome geographical barriers, allowing scholars from peripheral and semi-peripheral countries to share their findings globally. This approach bypasses traditional gatekeepers, who often favor Western-centric perspectives, thus fostering a more inclusive and diverse academic landscape.
