We are proud to serve as new co-editors of Human Communication Research (HCR). As a flagship ICA journal, HCR aims to publish high-quality empirical work in any area of the communication discipline—work that develops, extends, and critiques theory. From its founding editor (Gerald R. Miller, 1974–1976) to the most recent (Eun-Ju Lee, 2017–2020), HCR has promoted theoretical development and methodological innovation regarding human symbolic processes in a variety of areas including health, intercultural, intergroup, interpersonal, mass, organizational, and political communication. We aim to maintain the high-quality and international reach of this prestigious ICA journal by ensuring that the journal reflects the best work done in various regions of the world and that the work published addresses issues that are of interest to the journal’s diverse readership.
