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 March 2015. Our focus in this issue will be on the forthcoming UK General Election in May (e.g. campaign issues, media coverage, media policy, HE policy). The issue is timed so that it can act as an intervention into current debates and highlight our areas of concern during the campaign.



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 Monday 2nd March 2015.



ELECTION FEATURES

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



We are particularly interested in articles on:



* any area of Higher Education policy and funding

* changes to academic life and working conditions (including staff and students)

* media regulation, governance, ownership, and policy

* election campaigning and media use (e.g. social media, televised debates etc)

* news reporting of the election and related issues



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.



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 Monday 2nd March 2015, 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
