We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of MIL in promoting global understanding and dialogue, with a focus on practical implications for policymakers, media practitioners, and researchers. Join us in advancing knowledge and shaping the discourse on the transformative potential of responsible media engagement in today's interconnected world.
