“…Open science emphasises transparent and collaborative research practices, research data and publications that are openly available on the internet, as well as the positive effects of open and transparent research on society and academia (Eve, 2014;Open Science andResearch Initiative, 2014/2017;Tolonen & Lahti, 2018) The principles of free access to data and research findings, methodological transparency and peer reviewing are obviously not new (Lahti, Silva, Laine, Lähteenoja, & Tolonen, 2017), and form the core of the (Western) ideal of good knowledge production. However, with digitalisation affecting the whole of society and the further democratisation of knowledge production, open science extends the old ideas of public libraries and peer-reviewing even more widely.…”

Digital humanities (DH) as a research field has been developing rapidly in Finland during the past few years, mainly due to increased funding and profiling activities. Although these infrastructural developments have created (smaller and larger) centres, hubs and clusters related directly or indirectly to digital humanities, the future of Finnish research in this area depends on how the various scholarly and memory organisations, as well as individual scholars, succeed in joining forces. The overall argument in this paper is that digital humanities needs to establish its identity and to create a new space among research cultures with varying characteristics tackling a multitude of problems, and that this can only be achieved through national collaboration and the joint exploitation of the strengths of existing DH hubs. The article sets out a roadmap to this end, providing a detailed discussion of various developments in digital humanities, and analysing different possibilities in the international context. It is based on a survey conducted in 2016 among Finnish scholars in the fields of humanities and the social sciences, an analysis of existing infrastructures, and interviews with DH scholars involved with international top-level DH centres. The focus in the latter part of the article is on these interviews, and on the lessons learned abroad from which the Finnish DH community could benefit. We conclude with a strong call for collaboration to facilitate the further development of the DH field in Finland in response to international competition.

“…While some larger commercial publishers levy APCs of around £2,000 (Finch, 2012), they are in the minority. Many purely OA titles, often run by university presses or disciplinary collectives, waive such charges, satisfying their operating costs through other routes (Eve, 2014b).…”

“…The community's apathy, antipathy, or anticipation for OA praxis may be influenced by actors within the academy, and those such as publishers, funders, and learned societies external to it (Johnson, 2015). Nevertheless, as immaterial knowledge labourers, academics have long controlled the means of production, quality assurance and, increasingly, through digital technologies the dissemination vectors too (Eve, 2014b for(e)dialogue unreasonable to consider that the biggest obstacle to embracing OA praxis is not one of process or policy, but is reified through the cultural disposition of the academic community itself. Ultimately it is solely the academics whose responses will determine OA's long term success.…”

The first issue of for(e)dialogue is composed of a collection of papers given at the New Directions in Media Research (NDiMR) postgraduate conference in June 2015 at the University of Leicester.NDiMR is a one-day postgraduate focused conference organised by PhD students from the Department of Media and Communication. This conference has a similar aim and purpose of this journal as a whole which is to provide postgraduate students, PhD students and early career researchers with a platform and opportunity to develop and share their research and critically contribute to discussions of theory and methodology on a variety of Media and Communication issues. The NDiMR conference has been held annually since 2012, each year growing in size and attracting more delegates and presenters from across the world. However, this is the first time that some of the events' presentation papers have been collected for a published conference proceedings.This issue features eight papers presented at the NDiMR 2015 event that all touch upon one or more of the broad themes of the conference. Two of the issues' papers are more theoretical in nature with one being the only new media focused work of the collection. This first paper, 'A poststructuralist review of selfies: moving beyond the heteronormative visual rhetorics' by Patricia Routh, discusses 'gendered selfie production' and the relevant theories for gender identity within the online communities that 'selfies' are shared. The second more theoretical paper, 'Paul Ricoeur, visual hermeneutics and political science: an 'incompatible' relation (?)' by Nikos Kaplantzis, explores the idea of re-working Ricoeur's critical hermeneutics notion to offer a stronger basis for combining visual studies and political communication approaches.As well as theoretical discussion, there is a strong theme of exploring media representations within this issue. In 'A review on China's soft power projection through its transnational media institutions: conveying discourse of economic responsibilities in media 'going-out'' Xin Zhao presents a literature review on China's media 'going out project', a soft power initiative put in place by the Chinese government to represent their country in a way that counteracts the notion of 'China as a threat'. Other than the media representing a key government message, this journal issue also includes 'Public service broadcasting: the challenges of representing ethnic minority audiences' by Gurvinder Aujla-Sidhu, a paper that explores equality of representation at the BBC, the UK's public AcknowledgementsWe would like to take this opportunity as Editors to thank all those who have helped with the creation and publication of this journal issue. We would firstly like to thank our PhD colleagues for their support during this 18 month process of setting up this journal and publishing this first issue.
