[ecrea] Call for special issue proposals - Journal of Alternative and Community Media

Call for special issue proposals

The Journal of Alternative and Community Media seeks proposals for a 
guest-edited special issue. The editors would be especially pleased to 
support a special issue addressing an emerging or topical theme within 
alternative and community media research.

A special issue should include six to eight full-length articles and 
guest editors may elect whether to conduct an open call or to invite 
submissions. The guest editors will receive manuscripts, assign 
double-blind peer reviewers, make decisions on manuscripts and 
correspond with lead authors, with assistance from the managing editor 
(Ben Green, (editorial /at/ joacm.org)) as required. All manuscripts are 
subject to final approval from the general editors, Chris Atton and 
Susan Forde.

The deadline for proposals to edit a special issue of the Journal is 
June 30th, 2017 and the editors’ decision will be notified by July 31st. 
Proposals should include:
•	proposed special issue title;
•	names and affiliations of guest editors;
•	justification of the proposed theme with reference to existing 
literature and the journal’s objectives, including examples of topics 
that would be covered;
•	list of invited authors or relevant networks from which submissions 
will be sought;
•	proposed timeline to publication.
