Rural Media Studies: A Global Perspective brings together scholars from across the world to examine how digital technologies, platform infrastructures, and evolving media practices are reshaping life beyond metropolitan centers. Although media scholarship has long privileged urban spaces, this volume foregrounds rural and remote communities as dynamic sites of innovation, struggle, and cultural (re)negotiation amid digitalization. The chapters explore how rural actors engage with platforms, navigate shifting information ecologies, sustain journalistic practices, and adapt to technological transformations in everyday life, governance, and agriculture. The contributions collectively make the case for rural media studies as a distinct and urgently needed subfield, one that challenges urban biases and widens the conceptual and methodological horizons of media research. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students working in media and communication, rural sociology, digital anthropology, and political communication, as well as to journalists, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand the rapidly changing communicative landscapes of rural spaces.
