*Mobile Media & Communication*/ /is peer-reviewed forum for 
international, interdisciplinary academic research on the dynamic field 
of mobile media and communication. *Mobile Media & Communication*draw on 
a wide and continually renewed range of disciplines, engaging broadly in 
the concept of mobility itself.

The journal embraces both quantitative and qualitative approaches to the 
study of mobility in communication, but above all aims toward 
state-of-the-art methodology. While the center of gravity lies in social 
sciences and humanities, the journal is open to research with technical, 
economic, and design aspects, provided they help to enlighten the social 
dimensions of mobile communication.

*Mobile Media & Communication *examines the phenomenon of mobility in 
communication -- that is, what is understood as mobile media and 
communication, but also emerging phenomena such as mobile and ubiquitous 
computing. Contributions may include, but are certainly not limited to, 
explorations of the following topics:

   * Mobile communication as an innovation, including the emergence of
     new usage forms, the negotiation of norms, and symbolic
     representation by producers and users

   * The interrelationship of this nearly ubiquitous technology and the
     users' everyday lives

   * The embeddedness of mobile communication within social networks,
     and the mutual shaping of technology and social structure

   * Local cultures and forms of use of mobile communication

   * Mobile communication in developing countries

   * Cultural differences in mobile communication

   * Mobile communication and gender

   * Specific methodologies that address the mobile character of the
     phenomenon: ethnography, observation, network analysis, experience
     sampling, and other still emerging methods

   * Mobile learning and education.

   * Persuasion through mobile media in various domains

   * History of mobile media

   * Journalism and mobile media

   * Specific methodologies that address the mobile character of the
     phenomenon: ethnography, observation, network analysis, experience
     sampling, and other still emerging methods
