Welcome to the Proceedings of the International Conference on Communication and New Media Studies (COMNEWS 2025). The discussions in this conference highlight the central role of communication in shaping how societies understand and respond to technological change and sustainability challenges. Communication is not merely a tool, but a constitutive process embedded in everyday life and social structures. The diversity of perspectives in this volume, including those grounded in the Global South, highlights the importance of situating communication within local contexts while engaging with broader global discourses. Collectively, these works demonstrate how communication shapes social realities and supports collective action in addressing contemporary challenges.
