>The Journal of Media Practice is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2009!

>
>
>To mark this anniversary, the Journal is looking 
>for contributions from colleagues involved in 
>media practice around the world, whether as teachers or practitioners.
>
>
>
>The current decade is witnessing vast changes in 
>the production, consumption and forms of media. 
>With digital technology, video art, documentary, 
>film and other visual media are all going 
>through interesting changes at the 
>institutional, artistic and audience levels. Web 
>2.0 is blurring the lines between the production 
>and consumption of media, and is opening up new 
>spaces of expression in societies where state 
>censorship hinders freedom of speech in 
>traditional media. It is also instigating 
>changes in web design. Satellite television is 
>consolidating itself as the primary medium in 
>places like the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns 
>= "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" 
>/>Middle East. Digital radio is opening up new 
>possibilities for broadcasting. More synergies 
>are being created between different media forms, 
>whether between the internet and television, the 
>internet and documentary, or any number of other possibilities.
>
>
>
>The Journal invites international contributions 
>responding to the changes and challenges in the 
>media practice landscape over the last decade, 
>be it television, radio, video art, documentary, 
>film, screenwriting, the internet, the press, or 
>any other form of print, audio, visual or 
>audiovisual media, and the choices that those 
>changes and challenges have created for media 
>practitioners, institutions and audiences.
>
>
>
>In addition to academic articles, the Journal encourages the submission of:
>
>
>
>- Interviews with key media personnel and artists
>
>
>
>- Reflections by media practitioners on their 
>own practice (whether within institutions or as independent practitioners)
>
>
>
>- Reviews of exhibitions and other media events
>
>
>
>- Critical pieces about changes in technology, 
>content and delivery of media products and 
>tools, or the work of media institutions around the world
>
>
>

>words, and critical pieces and reflections 
>between 1000-3000 words. The Editor is happy to 
>discuss other possibilities with potential contributors.
