GMD editors recall that there are now three CFPs in special issues of the Journal in 2020. *1. 2020. Vol 2. No 2: Media, Culture and Society in Africa and Asia*The deadline - June 15, 2020 Link: https://galacticamedia.com/index.php/gmd/afrasia *This thematic issue of Galactica Media: Journal of Media Studies will present fresh discussions on the current situation and challenges encountered in media studies, culture and society in the ever changing landscape in Africa and Asia as well as reflections on how democratic developments have impacted the society in both continents in order to identify and explore a range of important questions regarding its significance for the changing nature of media, culture and society in the digital age.* *2. 2020. Vol 2. No 3: Make the Superhero Great Again!* The deadline - August 30, 2020. Link: https://galacticamedia.com/index.php/gmd/superhero *It is certain that a superhero is a kind of litmus test that indicates the directions of modern society development. But it is also a testing ground, where certain ideas are tested, because society votes with its attitude to each new image of a superhero, approaching it quite critically, accepting or rejecting it. Therefore, we can say that a superhero is a dynamic figure, developing and well indicating the state of public moods, aspirations and expectations.* *3. 2020. Vol 2. No. 4: Asian Tigers in the Digital Jungles* The deadline - October 30, 2020. Link: https://galacticamedia.com/index.php/gmd/asiantigers *Southeast Asia is the most densely populated region in the world, where neighboring states are political and economic heavyweights, leading players in a globalized world, and small countries that retain their distinctive appearance and style. It is a cauldron of ethnic groups, religions, worldviews, which has given rise to many alternative ways of integrating traditions and modernity. In particular, Asian media, especially electronic ones, and social networks such as Chinese Weibo, WeiChat, Tencent and Qzone, South Korean Naver, and Japanese Line can serve as an example of such integration.* We will announce the CFP for 2021 soon!
