From its inception, the Journal of Public Interest Communications has sought to merge the interests of academics and practitioners to broaden our perspectives and forge new paths in the field. After introducing new practitioner content in the last issue, we now invite you to dive into Volume 7, Issue 2, which includes both original research and a complementary practitioner interview. As we grow the field and explore new avenues for researchers and practitioners to collaborate, it is important to remember we must be mindful of the voices we represent in our work.
