>all aspects of literary journalism and/or 
>literary reportage. For the purpose of scholarly

>Praxis." All submissions must be in English.

>Journalism Studies is a multi-disciplinary 
>learned society whose essential purpose is the 
>encouragement and improvement of scholarly 
>research and education in Literary Journalism. 
>As an association in a relatively recently 
>defined field of academic study, it is our 
>agreed intent to be both explicitly inclusive 
>and warmly supportive of a variety of scholarly approaches.
