“…On the surface, these arguments are welcomed and should address the increasing media diversity issues our societies face. However, in many instances they demonstrate complex business arrangements that “subsume the public interest under corporate priorities” (Popiel, 2018, p. 566).…”

“…At the relatively benign end of the range are organizational and political figures who, while demonstrating a lack of self-awareness no better or worse than that of their peers, engage in activities that stand in the shadowy margins of societally accepted behavior. Such behavior by leaders is dealt with, for example, in scholarship on the following: alleged anti-competitiveness activities in the "Big Tech" world (Popiel, 2018), cheating on environmental controls in the automotive industry (Mujkic & Klinger, 2019), and alleged private executive misconduct (Lin, 2020).…”

A review of the written record suggests that C. G. Jung had relatively little to say about leadership. It also appears that the scattered comments he did make on the topic have garnered him little credit. Sensing, however, under-acknowledged value in Jung’s offerings, the authors of the present study curate the various pieces of this material and comment on the relevance of Jung’s thoughts to the field of leadership studies. The authors suggest caution in interpreting his ideas, given the differences between social norms prevailing in Jung’s time and those current today, and recommend avenues for further application of Jung’s ideas on leadership.

“…New structures of inequality in which ownership, control, and the possibility of extracting value from vast amounts of data have created new elites, while a global "underclass" of data producers (including both labourers on crowd-work platforms (Altenried, 2020) and ordinary users of the platforms, leaving data traces) has been established. New conflicts among the previous "media elites" and the new "tech elites" have emerged (Jakobsson, 2012;Popiel, 2018). These issues, as well as analyses of the work of the global supply chains of raw materials, electronics, and devices -relying on a division of labour between North and South (Fuchs, 2014) -are important aspects of the relationship between media and class.…”

Social class is one of the most enduring concepts in the social sciences and is associated with many of the key themes and topics across multiple disciplines. Thus, there are many uses to which the concept of social class in media and communication can be put. The ambition of this special issue is to offer a glimpse into the heterogeneity of its uses in the field. While attuned differently in relation to the various approaches and definitions of class, the eight contributions to this special issue collectively focus on the relationship between media and class. One of the ambitions of this special issue is to report on some of the current Nordic scholarship in this growing field of research and to highlight the particularities of the relationship between class, inequality and media in this region. While the special issue also includes contributions from other regions, the main focus is on social class in the Nordic countries.This introductory article begins with a discussion on the concept of social class and its analytical relevance in the contemporary social landscape. We detail the relationship between media and class as manifested in a growing body of research, followed by a brief presentation of the individual contributions to this special issue. Finally, we identify the road ahead and potential research areas for scholars of media and communication concerned about class and social inequality in the twenty-first century. Class: A key concept in an increasingly unequal worldDespite its long history of playing a key role in the social sciences, the concept of social class is a contested term. First, because of the definitional uncertainty that stems from a range of academic traditions applying the concept in different ways to different objects of study. Second, due to changes in the sphere of production, social structure, and in the lifeworlds of citizens in many parts of the world, which has made it more difficult to ascertain the empirical reality of social class.
