Special Issue CFPs - jcmsjournal/editorial GitHub Wiki

Our goal in moving toward an annual special issue is to bring new energy and varied perspectives to our full-length research articles. The field of media studies is changing in important, inspiring ways, and JCMS special issues are designed to illuminate and wrestle with those changes. Each JCMS special issue will focus on one timely, field-level question that applies to and/or challenges media studies across its various forms. In contrast to In Focus, JCMS special issues will address the field broadly, while also encouraging authors to remain rooted in the analysis of specific objects, archives, experiences, systems, and/or histories.

Please feel free to contact JCMS co-editors-in-chief Elizabeth Ellcessor ([email protected]) and Bo Ruberg ([email protected]) with any questions.
