[Commlist] special issue: Communication in Defense of Nonhuman Animals During an Extinction and Climate Crisis

You are invited to contribute a scholarly essay on the topic 
“Communication in Defense of Nonhuman Animals During an Extinction and 
Climate Crisis,” to the 2022 special issue we are editing for the 
open-access international journal Journalism and Media (ISSN 2673-5172) 
(https://www.mdpi.com/journal/journalmedia 
<https://www.mdpi.com/journal/journalmedia>).


The guest editors work within the critical animal studies and critical 
media studies traditions and prefer communication scholarship that shows 
respect for the interests, welfare, and rights of all animals (human and 
nonhuman) in an effort to protect them as individuals and species groups 
in an age of environmental crisis.

The submission deadline is 31 October 2021. You may send your manuscript 
now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not be under 
consideration for publication elsewhere. You are also encouraged to send 
a short abstract or tentative title to the Guest Editors or journal’s 
Managing Editor, Ivana Vuleta ((vuleta /at/ mdpi.com) <mailto:(vuleta /at/ mdpi.com)>; 
(journalmedia /at/ mdpi.com) <mailto:(journalmedia /at/ mdpi.com)> ).


The Article Processing Charge (APC) for open access publication in this 
Special Issue will be waived, which means that you have the privilege to 
publish your paper free of charge in an open access scholarly journal.


Papers should be in the range of 6,000 to 9,000 words. For further

(https://www.mdpi.com/journal/journalmedia/instructions 
<https://www.mdpi.com/journal/journalmedia/instructions>). (the 
instructions don’t mention a literature review section, but do include 
one after the introduction section, as would be standard in humanities 
and social scientific writing).
