*Call for Applications: New Editor for Communication & Sport*

Sage announces the search for a new Editor for Communication & Sport 
(C&S). This cutting-edge, peer-reviewed journal is published bimonthly 
and has been influencing the fields of communication, media studies, and 
sport since its establishment in 2013. We are currently accepting Editor 
applications for a three-year term commencing January 1, 2027.

Communication & Sport publishes research and critical analysis from 
diverse disciplinary and theoretical perspectives to advance 
understanding of communication phenomena in the varied contexts through 
which sport touches individuals, society, and culture. The journal 
examines both communication in sport and communication of sport by 
considering sport in light of communication processes, strategies, 
industries, texts, and reception. It welcomes studies of sport and media 
in mass and new media settings, research on sport in interpersonal, 
group, organizational, and other communication contexts, and analyses of 
sport rhetoric, discourse, and narratives. C&S encourages studies of 
sport communication and media from broad disciplinary vistas including 
everything from sociology and politics to kinesiology and health studies.

The Editor will be responsible for soliciting, reviewing, and making 
final decisions on submissions to the Journal, and will manage all 
aspects of the publication and review process using the ScholarOne 
(Manuscript Central) electronic submission and review platform. The 
Editor is expected to maintain timely and effective communication, 
advance journal performance, and work towards upholding C&S's 
high-quality standard.

Ideal applicants should have an established scholarly record in both 
communication & media studies and sport, however individuals with a 
history of academic research in one or the other field of research are 
welcome to apply, as long as they can share demonstrated interest in the 
intersection of the two fields. Applicants should also possess strong 
organizational and management skills, as well as the ability to work 
well with others. Finally, applicants should share a commitment to 
Sage's mission: building bridges to knowledge — supporting the 
development of ideas through the research process to scholarship that is 
certified, taught, and applied.

Sage provides C&S with editorial support, but the institution that hosts 
the journal will also be expected to provide support for the Editor and 
the Journal office. Your application should indicate the expected level 
of institutional support, which might come in the form of additional 
faculty release time, travel funds, summer salary, the use of computers 
and other office equipment and associated utilities, support for 
additional editorial staff, student workers, and/or other basic expenses.

Applicants should send a letter of application which includes their 
vision for the future of the Journal and a description of their 
qualifications for the editorship. Applicants should also include copies 
of their CV and documentation indicating prospective institutional 
support. Please send by June 30, 2026.

Applications, nominations, and requests for additional information 
should be sent electronically to Vi La Bianca, Publishing Editor, at 
(vi.labianca /at/ sagepub.com) <mailto:(vi.labianca /at/ sagepub.com)>. Please put 
"C&S Editor Application" in the subject line of your email.
