About the Journal
Journal of Lifestyle Communication (JLC) is a peer-reviewed open access scholarly journal published by Akademia Nusa Publika. The journal provides a forum for research and critical discussion on the relationships between communication, lifestyle, identity, media, culture, and everyday social experience.
JLC approaches lifestyle not merely as personal preference or consumption, but as a communicative and cultural practice through which individuals and communities construct meaning, negotiate identity, form social relationships, and respond to social change. The journal welcomes interdisciplinary perspectives from communication studies, media studies, cultural studies, sociology, urban studies, anthropology, marketing communication, and related fields.
