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. *More About Media Industries * The journal is maintained by a managing Editorial Collective and Editorial Board comprised of an international group of media industries scholars. Editorial responsibilities rotate bi-annually among six universities: The Chinese University of Hong Kong; Georgia State University; Queensland University of Technology; University of California, Santa Barbara; University of Nottingham; and University of Texas at Austin. Our Winter 2015-2016 issue was edited by the University of Nottingham <http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/clas/departments/cfm/research/index.aspx>.
