[ecrea] Call for Submissions - Gender and Media Diversity Journal No. 4: Media, Activism & Change

Call for Submissions - Gender and Media Diversity 
Journal No. 4: Media, Activism & Change

The GMDJ seeks proposals for contributions to the journal that will enhance
the development and sharing of knowledge, best practices and debate around
media diversity, as well as promote probing, analytical and contextual
journalism. The Gender and Media Diversity Journal is the biennial journal
of the Gender and Media Diversity Centre (GMDC). The GMDC is a physical and
virtual resource centre based in Southern Africa, managed by Gender Links
and the Gender and Media Southern Africa (GEMSA) Network, with linkages in
Africa and across the globe. The journal is an intellectual but not academic
journal. Each journal covers latest developments but also focuses on a
different thematic area identified in consultation with the GMDC advisory
group. The last issue of the journal focused on the tabloid phenomenon in
the context of media diversity. The next edition will tackle the issue of
Media, Activism & Change, focusing on Southern Africa, but with
contributions welcome from all over the continent and the world, to be
launched April 2008.
