[Commlist] New open access journal: History of Media Studies

We are very pleased to announce the launch of a new international 
journal, History of Media Studies (hms.mediastudies.press), and the 
publication of 16 short, programmatic essays written by the editors and 
members of the editorial board. History of Media Studies (HMS) is an 
open access, refereed academic journal dedicated to scholarship on the 
history of research, education, and reflective knowledge about media and 
communication broadly conceived—as expressed through academic 
institutions; through commercial, governmental, and non-governmental 
organizations; and through “alter-traditions” of thought and practice 
often excluded from the academic mainstream. HMS aims to open space 
outside the commercialized academic publishing industry—space that is 
nonprofit, community-led, care-based, and transparent. The journal’s 
inaugural essays address the geopolitics of the history and 
historiography of the media and communication fields, structural 
inequities and exclusions that have helped constitute them, and 
alternative conceptualizations and methodologies for investigating them, 
among other topics. Read more about the journal:
