Nganda from Daystar University, Kenya; Priyanka Sachdeva from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, India; Gizem Canalp from Eastern Mediterranean University, Cyprus; Xudong Weng from the Communication University of China; and Victor C.

With the newly appointed ambassadors joining the network, IAMCR now has fifteen ambassadors from around the world. See the list of IAMCR's current ambassadors, their bios and strategic plans here.
IAMCR established the global network of ambassadors in 2015 to bring members together for contributing to IAMCR's aim to support and develop communication and media research throughout the world through intellectual exchange, networking and sociality. IAMCR Ambassadors programme aims to expand IAMCR's footprint worldwide, build and retain the association's membership and reputation, and publicise and promote the association's work in relevant academic and policy fields. IAMCR Ambassadors explore opportunities to contribute to these aims in a variety of ways. These can include working with university departments, local and regional communication and media research bodies and think tanks, and NGOs involved in media advocacy and research.
The network continues to grow, and IAMCR welcomes new applications to become IAMCR faculty ambassadors and IAMCR PhD ambassadors.
