Aims and Scope


The Journal of African Media Studies(JAMS) is an interdisciplinary 
journal that provides a forum for debate on the historical and 
contemporary aspects of media and communication in Africa. It hereby 
aims to contribute to the ongoing re-positioning of media and cultural 
studies outside the Anglo-American axis. JAMS interprets media in a 
broad sense, incorporating not only formal media such as radio, 
television, print, internet and mobile telephony but also considers 
articles on ‘informal’, ‘small’ or ‘indigenous’ media such as music, 
jokes and theatre. JAMS welcomes articles that discuss the relation of 
different media and forms of communication to the broader social, 
economic, historical and political context in Africa. JAMS has a 
preference for empirical work that is well grounded in theoretical 
debates and academic literature, and encourages contributors to include 
images, photographs or other graphics. JAMS also has a book and film 
review section and is published three times a year.
