>Scope:
>There have been unprecedented developments in Arab and Muslim media 
>during the last ten years. The emergence of satellite TV, the 
>internet and digital technology have dramatically changed the way 
>audience receive information and interact with the media. The sudden 
>success of Al-Jazeera channel and other Arab broadcasters have 
>altered the way the Arab world narrates itself and reports news from 
>the region to the rest of the world. A challenge to global media 
>(like BBC and CNN) emerged during the invasion of Iraq (2003) and 
>its aftermath in what has been known as the battle to win Arabs and 
>Muslims' hearts and minds.
>The Journal of Arab and Muslim Media Research aims to lead the 
>debate about these emerging rapid changes in media and society in 
>that part of the world. There is hardly any journal so far 
>specialising in Arab and Muslim media research and its repercussion 
>on culture and social change. Thus what distinguishes this new 
>journal is its wider scope related to media, communication and 
>culture in not only the 'Middle East', but the 22 countries of the 
>Arab world in addition to the rest of the Muslim countries in Africa and Asia.
>This journal will also be interested in the diasporic media like 
>television, radio and the internet especially in Europe and the USA. 
>We will be interested to know who their audiences are, how 
>influential those media outlets are, how they are consumed and what 
>impact do they have on their audiences' sense of identity and belonging.
>
>The journal thus aims to:
>- become an international platform for academics, researchers and 
>journalists to debate the growing role of media and communication in 
>social change.
>- engage critically with the Western tradition and paradigm in media 
>and communication analysis by providing parallel perspectives from the East.
>- offer inside views and analyses about broadcasting media, press 
>and the internet in the Arab and Muslim countries, and discuss the 
>cultural and political frameworks in which the media operate in that 
>part of the world.
>- examine debates about globalisation and its impact on local 
>cultures, by discussing case studies from Arab and Muslim countries. 
>Also explore what forms of resistance are being undertaken.
>Audience: The journal will serve a large international community of 
>academics, researchers, students, journalists, policy makers and 
>other members of the public in the West as well as the Arab and 
>Muslim countries.
>
>Features:
>In addition to academic refereed papers the journal will include:
>- Reports from academic conferences and symposia organised both in 
>the Arab and Muslim countries and in the West which are related to 
>the topics of concern to the journal.
>- Book, film and internet reviews.
>- Interview section with broadcasters, scholars as well as policy 
>makers to comment on certain aspects of the media and society in the region.
>
>Submissions:
>The journal welcomes contributions from around the world about the 
>above mentioned areas of enquiry. Manuscripts to be considered for 
>publication should be submitted electronically, preferably via 
>e-mail, to Noureddine Miladi. Each manuscript should be no more than 
>7000 words in main text and 300 words in abstract. All submissions
