Call for Papers

Media Industries is a new peer-reviewed, multi-media, open-access online 
journal that supports critical studies of media industries and 
institutions worldwide. We invite contributions that range across the 
full spectrum of media industries, including film, television, internet, 
radio, music, publishing, electronic games, advertising, and mobile 
communications. Submissions may explore these industries individually or 
examine inter-medial relations between industrial sectors. We encourage 
both contemporary and historical studies, and are especially interested 
in contributions that draw attention to global and international 
perspectives, and use innovative methodologies, imaginative theoretical 
approaches, and new research directions.

More About Media Industries

The journal is maintained by a managing Editorial Collective and 
Editorial Board comprised of an international group of media industries 
scholars. For additional information about the Board and Collective, as 
well as a list of forthcoming essays from Board members, please visit:
