The theme of the XXXIX International VAKKI Symposium in 2019 was, for the second time in a row, Workplace communication. It has succeeded in bringing together a wider range of communication research while at the same time building on the traditions and strengthening the specific profile of the symposium.
In VAKKI Publications no. 10, titled Workplace communication II, we have 13 peer-reviewed articles written in Finnish and English. These articles are divided into three thematic groups to cover a wide range of workplace communication research. Media, Technology and Philosophy includes articles about both theoretical and empirical research in the workplace contexts. Organizational Communication, which is a growing thematic area in this symposium, consists of articles from the perspectives of leadership communication, investor relations and employees’ experiences. Finally, Communication Skills and Learning covers topics from media literacy to language learning and workplace skills, highlighting the growing need to link the teaching and learning of communication with professional practices and communities.
The tenth issue of VAKKI Publications leads the VAKKI Communication Research Association to a special year of 2020 which marks the 40th anniversary of VAKKI symposium. We hope that you enjoy reading the selection of articles in this issue, and that VAKKI Publications will interest you to continue sharing your work with us!
