[ecrea] SAGE Publications Call for Authors

We are inviting academic editorial contributors to The SAGE 
International Encyclopedia of Mass Media & Society, a new multivolume 
reference to be published in 2016. While the world of mass media is 
constantly changing, as new types of media such as blogging and online 
newspapers augment or displace older types such as print newspapers and 
broadcast television, the mass media remains a key force in modern 
society. The rapid rise of social media sites such as Facebook and 
LinkedIn, and the participatory nature of many types of new media, also 
mean that people who once might have expected only to consume media are 
now creating it as well. The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Mass 
Media & Society includes approximately 900 articles organized A-Z in the 
following categories:

Economics of Mass Media
Education and Research Centers/Organizations
Ethics
History of Mass Media Mass Media Around the World (Country Profiles)
Mass Media Companies and Organizations
Mass Media Law and Regulation Professional Fields
Psychology and Sociology of Mass Media
Specific Audiences and Programming
Technology
Theory and Research Methods for Mass Media
Types of Mass Media
Each 1,000 to 5,000-word article will include the name and affiliation 
of the contributor in the byline of the entry. This comprehensive 
project will be published by SAGE Publications and the General Editor, 
who will be reviewing each submission to the project, is Dr. Debra 
Merskin, The University of Oregon. We are currently making assignments 
with a deadline of October 25, 2014.
If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it 
is a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature, 
redefining sociological issues in today's terms. Moreover, it can be a 
notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your
