The Journal of Alternative and Community Media is an online, academic 
journal for the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed international 
research.

The journal aims to highlight and promote the study of alternative and 
community media and communication, which includes citizens′ media, 
participatory media, activist and radical media and the broader forms of 
communication that these groups might undertake. The Journal locates 
this scholarship within the media and cultural research disciplines.

This field of study continues to grow and demonstrates increasing 
relevance in the digital age. The Journal of Alternative and Community 
Media recognises the need for strong empirical and theoretical advances 
which help explain the shifting media environment, and the ways in which 
people use alternative forms of media and communication. Issues of 
concern to the journal include but are not limited to the nature and 
distribution of media power; access to and participation in media; media 
practices of communities and social movements; diverse objectives, 
practices and structures within alternative and community media; state 
support and media regulation; and the possibilities of emerging 
technologies and new media.

The Journal of Alternative and Community Media will define the field, 
present exciting, new research and advance the study of alternative and 
community media around the world.

The journal seeks submissions 
(https://joacm.org/index.php/JOACM/pages/view/authors) from 
international authors conducting quality, rigorous research. All 
articles are subject to the highest standards of peer review under the 
guidance of an international Editorial Advisory Board comprised of 
leaders in the field.
