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.
