Call for Guest-Edited Thematic Issues

Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television

Deadline for Proposals: October 1, 2024


The “Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television” is an 
international and interdisciplinary journal concerned with the history 
of the audio-visual mass media from c.1900 to the present. It explores 
the institutional and ideological contexts of film, radio and 
television, analyses the evidence produced by the mass media for 
historians and social scientists, and considers the impact of mass 
communications on political, social and cultural history. It is the 
official journal of the International Association for Media and History 
(IAMHIST)

The editors of the “Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television” 
are pleased to announce a call for proposals for guest-edited thematic 
issues. We invite scholars, researchers, archivists, and practitioners 
from around the world to submit proposals for special issues to be 
published in 2025. One exceptional proposal will be selected and 
commissioned by the editors of the HJFRT.

We seek proposals that focus on innovative and compelling themes within 
the scope of film, radio, and television history. Thematic issues should 
aim to advance the field by exploring new theoretical frameworks, 
methodologies, or areas of study that engage with historical 
perspectives on media and articles should be grounded in or based upon 
empirical and archival research. Contributions based on conference 
presentations or panels are welcome, provided they have not been 
published in any form or in any language before.

Each proposal must include:
Title and description of the theme: A clear and concise title, along 
with a detailed description (up to 1,500 words) of the proposed thematic 
issue. The description should outline the significance of the theme, its 
relevance to the field of media history, and how it contributes to 
advancing scholarly discourse.
List of Proposed Articles and Authors: Include the titles and abstracts 
(300-500 words each) of 8–10 articles, along with the names, e-mail 
addresses and affiliations of the authors. There must be an introductory 
article that sets the context for the theme.
Guest Editors: Thematic issues must have at least two guest editors. 
Provide the names, affiliations, short biographies (up to 150 words 
each), and contact information of the proposed guest editors. Highlight 
any relevant experience in editing or coordinating scholarly work. 
Articles (co-)written by the guest editors must be externally 
peer-reviewed to ensure academic integrity and impartiality. This will 
be coordinated by the editors of the HJFRT.
Timeline: Outline a proposed timeline for the thematic issue, including 
key milestones such as the initial submission deadline, peer review 
process, revisions, and final manuscript submission.
Additional Information: Include any other pertinent information that 
would strengthen the proposal, such as plans for promoting the thematic 
issue or potential impact on the field.

Proposals should be submitted in a single PDF document to 
(hjfrt.1981 /at/ gmail.com) with the subject line "Thematic Issue Proposal 
Submission". The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2024. Late 
submissions will not be considered.

The Editorial Board will evaluate all proposals based on the following 
criteria:
Relevance of the proposed theme.
Scholarly significance and potential impact on the field.
Quality and diversity of the proposed articles and authors.
Feasibility of the timeline and the guest editors' ability to manage the 
project.

The selected proposal will be announced by November 1. Manuscripts will 
be due by June 1. Guest editors of the chosen proposal will work closely 
with our editorial team to ensure the high standard of our journal is 
maintained throughout the publication process.

No payment from the authors will be required.
