Foundations of Communication/Media/Digital (In)justice

The task of this paper is to outline foundations of a Marxist-humanist approach to communication justice, media justice, and digital justice. A dialectical approach to justice is outlined that differs from idealist monism, dualism, and pluralism. It conceives of injustice as alienation and inhumanity and justice as humanism. This approach is applied to communication, media, and the digital. The paper outlines concepts and dimensions of (in)justice in general, communication (in)justice, media (in)justice, and digital (in)justice. Following an introduction, section 2 engages with theories of justice. Section 3 present an approach of how to think about alienation as injustice. Section 4 focuses on communication/media (in)justice. Section 5 provides a framework for the analysis of digital (in)justice. Some conclusions are drawn in section 6
