This partly autoethnographical account of my experiences as an author, editor and researcher
offers an experiential framework with which to make sense of publishing in the contemporary
era, governed as it is by neoliberal managerialist principles that tend to reduce activities to
measureable units so as to render academic disciplines comparable. This is the context within
which Communicare is repositioning itself in communication and media studies, situated as it is
between positivist communication science and interpretivist critical theory. Historical elements of
the journal are examined via the author’s long-term association with it. The article ends with an
examination of the problems that scholarly work faces when universities measure finite products
at the expense of processes.
