ABSTRACT
As the founding editor of Communication Research and Practice, I look back on some of the key drivers of the journal’s development and issues faced for the future. It is noted that the journal has successfully navigated the challenge of becoming a highly regarded outlet for scholarship that has global reach while being predominantly authored from Australia and New Zealand. Challenges faced relate to how broadly to understand communication as a field, engagement with the Asia-Pacific region, and the relationship between theory and practice in the communication professions.
