Dear MeCCSA members,

We are currently in the process of putting together the next edition of Three-D, the official newsletter of the Media, Communication and Cultural Studies Association (MeCCSA), due to be published in July 2014. Our focus in this issue will include reflections on Stuart Hall and cultural studies, as well as continuing attention on media reform.

We welcome contributions from our members as outlined below. This is your newsletter and an opportunity to connect with colleagues within your subject association. To have a look at previous editions of the newsletter, please visit the MeCCSA website: http://www.meccsa.org.uk/news/newsletter/

Deadline for all contributions and adverts is Friday 20th June 2014.

FEATURE ARTICLES
Each newsletter has a range of feature articles / commentary pieces dealing with contemporary issues and debates.

We are for example interested in articles on:

* Stuart Hall tributes, reflections on the history and future of cultural studies
* Media plurality, in light of ongoing Media Reform initiatives
* Attacks on press freedom, internet surveillance and privacy issues
* Media and film studies at GCSE and A-levels
* challenges to postgraduate recruitment

We of course welcome proposals on other topics as well, so please do get in touch if you have an idea or suggestion.

Feature articles can span as many pages as you wish, but in order to make formatting easier, articles should be in multiples of 500 words (so either 500, 1000, 1500 etc). Features like these are usually 500-1500 words. You can also combine an article with an info box or similar. Articles can be accompanied by images.

SUCCESS AND INNOVATION IN HE
At a time when higher education is increasingly under pressure, we wish to highlight positive examples of developments or innovations within our field.

The focus of these articles can include, but are not restricted to, the opening of new research centres, development of new degree programmes, innovation in pedagogy, new research or teaching facilities, conference reports relevant to MeCCSA, specific individual or institutional achievements.

Success stories should be 500 words long and can be accompanied by images.

ADVERTISING
We accept advertising from external organisations in Three-D. The current rates are:

Up to quarter of a page (1/16 or 1/8th or 1/4): £225
Half a page: £250
Full page: £300

DEADLINE AND SUBMISSIONS
All submissions should be emailed to Einar Thorsen on [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>

Deadline for all contributions and adverts is Friday 20th June 2014, although I would greatly appreciate if you could give me an indication as soon as possible if you wish to contribute or not.

All the best,
Einar
