*Website link:* Open call for thematic issues of the Historical Journal 
of Film, Radio and Television – IAMHIST 
<https://iamhist.net/call-for-proposals-hjfrt/>

The /Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television 
<https://tandfonline.com/journals/chjf20>/ (/HJFRT/) 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/ invite scholars, researchers, archivists, and practitioners 
from around the world to submit proposals for guest-edited thematic 
issues. We seek proposals that focus on innovative and compelling themes 
within the scope of film, radio, television, and media 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. No payment from the 
guest editors or the authors will be required.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each proposal must include:

  * Title and description of the theme: A clear and concise title, along
    with a detailed description (2,000–4,000 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 at least 8 but not more than 12
    articles, along with the names, e-mail addresses, biographies 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, and contact
    information of the proposed guest editors. Highlight any relevant
    experience in editing or coordinating scholarly work.
  * 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.

This is an open call, with no predetermined submission deadline. 
Proposals should be submitted in a single PDF document to 
(hjfrt.1981 /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(hjfrt.1981 /at/ gmail.com)> with the subject line 
“Thematic Issue Proposal Submission”.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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. 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:

  * You will be informed within 8 weeks whether your proposal has been
    accepted. The application process may include an online interview
    with one or more of the co-editors.
  * If your proposal is accepted, you must submit all the articles
    (co-)written by guest editors within 6 months of the proposal being
    accepted (including the introductory article). All the other
    articles in the subsequent 3 months, that is, no more than 9 months
    after the date on which your proposal was accepted.
  * A detailed timeline for the remainder of the process (peer review,
    revisions, and final manuscript submission) will be discussed. As
    guest editors, you are responsible for ensuring that the entire
    manuscript strictly follows the guidelines of the journal.
