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 early October 2015. Our focus in this issue will be on the BBC Charter Review Consultation. The issue is timed so that it will be published in advance of the closing date of the consultation period.
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 28th September 2015.
BBC CHARTER PUBLIC CONSULTATION
Each newsletter has a range of feature articles / commentary pieces dealing with contemporary issues and debates.
We are particularly interested in articles on:
* any of the four headline themes of the consultation:
- Why the BBC? Mission, purpose and values
- What the BBC does: scale and scope
- BBC Funding
- BBC governance and regulation
* specific questions posed within each of these themes
* the consultation process itself, or other issues concerning the future of the BBC
You can access the surprisingly readable consultation document online:

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 28th September 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
