[ecrea] Sage Publication The International Encyclopedia of Mass Media and Society's Call for Authors

-- CALL FOR AUTHORS: The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Mass Media &
Society

We are inviting academic editorial contributors to The SAGE
International Encyclopedia of Mass Media & Society, a new multivolume
reference to be published in 2016. While the world of mass media is
constantly changing, as new types of media such as blogging and online
newspapers augment or displace older types such as print newspapers and
broadcast television, the mass media remains a key force in modern
society. The rapid rise of social media sites such as Facebook and
LinkedIn, and the participatory nature of many types of new media, also
mean that people who once might have expected only to consume media are
now creating it as well. The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Mass
Media & Society includes approximately 900 articles organized A-Z in the
following categories:

Economics of Mass Media
Education and Research Centers/Organizations
Ethics
History of Mass Media Mass Media Around the World (Country Profiles)
Mass Media Companies and Organizations
Mass Media Law and Regulation Professional Fields
Psychology and Sociology of Mass Media
Specific Audiences and Programming
Technology
Theory and Research Methods for Mass Media
Types of Mass Media
Each 1,000 to 5,000-word article will include the name and affiliation
of the contributor in the byline of the entry. This comprehensive
project will be published by SAGE Publications and the General Editor,
who will be reviewing each submission to the project, is Dr. Debra
Merskin, The University of Oregon. We are currently making assignments
with a deadline of JANUARY 15, 2015.
If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it
is a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature,
redefining sociological issues in today’s terms. Moreover, it can be a
notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your
publishing credits. SAGE Publications, offers an honorarium ranging from
SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed
product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more.
The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step
we will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can
select topics that best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally,
Style and Submission Guidelines will be provided that detail article
specifications.
