Media International Australia: Call for Feature Topic Proposals

Call for Feature Topic Proposals! We invite proposals for Feature Topics 
which we publish in most issues and a MIA highlight.

Media International Australia (MIA) is an international peer-reviewed 
journal founded in 1976 and dedicated to publishing cutting-edge 
scholarly research exploring media and communications in all their 
forms. MIA is inclusive, interdisciplinary, and international in its 
orientation; it welcomes diverse voices, and new conceptual and 
methodological approaches. No payment from authors is required to 
publish in MIA.

Media International Australia (MIA) publishes four issues a year, with 
one issue reserved for a selection of papers from the annual ANZCA 
conference, reflecting the important partnership between the journal and 
Australia and New Zealand’s premier academic organisation for media and 
communications. In each of the other three annual issues, as well as 
individually submitted work of the highest standard, MIA also normally 
publishes a guest-edited Feature Topic: a coherent themed collection of 
five to six articles, plus a scholarly introduction, devoted to a 
specific, important issue in contemporary media and communications research.

A feature topic makes a significant contribution to international 
scholarship, advancing our knowledge of media and communications, by 
bringing a clear focus onto a specific set of questions and issues in 
the field. A feature topic is a partnership between the journal’s editor 
and the guest editorial team. It involves publication of the very best 
selection of papers proposed by researchers in response to an 
international call for contributions, following anonymous peer-review. 
Guest editors play a vital role in careful curation and development of 
the collection, so it represents both a series of individual voices, and 
a group of scholars speaking together. The editorial introduction is 
itself an academic contribution to the field and may be submitted for 
peer review. MIA particularly welcomes topics that give voice to 
emerging issues and perspectives on the changing socio-technological 
order of global media and communications, and which positively encourage 
diverse perspectives.

There is an open call for guest editorial teams to propose feature 
topics for the journal. Proposals are first discussed with MIA’s Editor, 
and then presented to the MIA Executive Board for comment and approval.
