SCREEN EDUCATION MAGAZINE
CALL FOR WRITERS/CALL FOR PAPERS


Screen Education magazine is seeking industry practitioners, teachers, 
academics and experienced feature writers with a proven background in 
film, television and media. We are always looking for new contributors 
and welcome unsolicited submissions or article proposals.

If you wish to contribute, please contact Tim Coronel at 
(magazines /at/ atom.org.au).
PLEASE DO NOT REPLY DIRECTLY TO THIS EMAIL.

Please include a description of the article(s) you are proposing and 
outline any relevant experience you may have in relation to the topic. 
If you are a new contributor, please also include a brief bio and a 
writing sample. Due to a high number of responses, there may be a delay 
before we are able to respond to your proposal.

Pay rates and submission guidelines are available on our website: 
http://www.metromagazine.com.au/writers.html.


Feature articles

and secondary) on media literacy/multiliteracies
    * Teaching units relating to media influence, including the effects

as individual texts, are actively used by different individuals, 
audiences and society for different purposes

teaching and learning. If you have a proposal, please send an abstract.
