Call for Papers

The International Journal on Media Management (JMM) publishes original 
research 
and scholarship on the dramatic changes in the media and communications 
industries. 
The content is both interdisciplinary, combining a number of different 
academic disciplines 
(strategy, media technology, marketing, finance, media studies, etc.) and 
multisectoral, 
exploring the interrelationship between developments in related 
industries. 
JMM Vol.7/ 3&4 is open for submission. We welcome articles for both Focus 
Theme section and 
General Research section. 
Focus Theme: Researching Global Media Conglomerates 
Guest Editor: Prof. Alan Albarran, University of North Texas 
The media industries are dominated by a number of large conglomerates 
whose interests and activities cut 
across many individual market segments such as publishing, audiovisual (TV 
and radio), film, sound recordings,
and the Internet. Aside from these activities, what do we really know 
about these global media conglomerates? 
This issue of the International Journal on Media Management seeks original 
research that provides a basis 
for understanding the activities of global media companies. All research 
methodologies and perspectives are 
welcome, but papers that offer a theoretical foundation as well as an 
analytical focus are preferred.

Manuscripts are solicited on topics including: 
- Concentration and consolidation of media markets and industries 
- Assessing the power of media conglomerates at a global level
- Strategies of global media companies
- Managerial issues facing global media companies
- The role of public policy in assessing global media conglomerates
- Specific industry or company case studies involving global media 
companies 

Please submit the manuscript to: (media.editors /at/ netacademy.org)
