What Englishes do we use in “formal” mass media writing? How do journalists speak to their multilingual audiences?

In this episode, our hosts speak to three journalists, Kirsten Han (Singapore), Maleeha Mengal (Pakistan) and Karthik Shankar (India). The guests reflect on their navigations on the use of Englishes in their practice, and the complexities of connecting with their diverse audiences around the world.

English or Englishes? explores the perceptions, positions, influence and impact of the diverse Englishes in a postcolonial world. Join hosts Sweta Kumari, Aieshah Arif and Neelam Hanif in conversation with speakers, writers and experts of various Englishes on decolonising the language and learning.
