GOOD NEWS: Prof. Pezzullo's editorship marks the first time in the journal's history in which we have editorial board leaders and members from Africa and the African Diaspora (shocking, really). The first Special Issue she accepted (other than her own on Care) was from two scholars who proposed an idea from a conference in South Africa, Mehita Iqani & Prof. Meghan Judge. In that Special Issue, which will be the first of the new year, an article has been published as a teaser that has proven (as if we needed numbers) that publishing research from Africa raises the bar for all: * The article has coverage around the world in 37 news outlets including specialist science and environmental news outlets Sciences et Avenir and Earth.com; and daily national titles like la Repubblica in Italy, and Der Tagesspiegel in Germany. * The news story was also featured on The Wildlife Society, an international network of over 11,000 leaders in wildlife science, management and conservation. * This media coverage has helped the article achieve the top 25 highest Altmetric attention (impact) score of all articles ever published in Environmental Communication, and is also the 10th highest impact score of all Taylor & Francis articles published in November 2024! Congratulations to all involved: @Gabriella Leighton & Laurel E.K. Serieys (2024). Wild Cats on the Internet: The Role of Social Media in Popularising Caracals in South Africa.
