Media Industries Publishes Spring 2015 Issue
Visit us at mediaindustriesjournal.org.
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce that the Spring 2015 issue of Media Industries is now online. We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that our submission site remains open, and we are accepting manuscripts on a rolling basis.
About Our New Issue
Our Spring 2015 issue is the first issue to feature peer-reviewed essays.
Articles featured in this issue include:
Our previous three issues (Volume 1, Issues 1-3) featured short think pieces authored by the 36 members of our esteemed editorial board, representing the breadth and depth of media industries scholarship. Beginning with this week’s issue, Media Industries will feature longer blind peer-reviewed essays that explore a wide range of media industries-related scholarship.
All of our issues can be found at mediaindustriesjournal.org.
Call for Papers
We are currently seeking high-quality submissions for our second peer-reviewed issue, to be published in winter 2015-2016.
Media Industries is a new peer-reviewed, multi-media, open-access online journal that supports critical studies of media industries and institutions worldwide. We invite contributions that range across the full spectrum of media industries, including film, television, internet, radio, music, publishing, gaming, advertising, and mobile communications. Authors are encouraged to explore a range of industry-related processes, such as production, distribution, infrastructure, policy, exhibition, and retailing. Contemporary or historical studies may explore industries individually or examine inter-medial relations between industrial sectors employing qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methodologies; of primary importance is that submissions adopt a critical perspective.
Authors may, for example, explore how social and cultural factors influence media industry practices or the ways that media industry practices shape cultural products. We are especially interested in contributions that draw attention to global and international perspectives, and use innovative methodologies, imaginative theoretical approaches, and new research directions.
