This fourth issue of the IAFOR Journal of Media, Communication & Film features contributions from the four corners of the globe, representing multiple nationalities. The aim of the journal is to gather interdisciplinary and international perspectives on global and local mediascapes, as well as communication practices that flow within and between national boundaries. The articles in this issue address the concept of alternative narratives, each exploring the forms, functions and effects of non-mainstream stories in contemporary media, film, politics and culture.
