9224 Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies

Intellect would like to announce the publication of our Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies and to celebrate the launch of this timely new journal we are offering Issue 1.1 for FREE online.

The Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies is a peer-reviewed journal that aims to bridge the gap between media and communication research and actors with a say in media production, i.e. broadcasters, newspapers, radios, Internet-based media outlets, etc. It is devoted to research with an applied angle in which a clear link is made between the prevalent theories and paradigms media and communication scholars work with, and the real world where media and communication activities take place. It tackles issues and practices related to the output and organization of media outlets in our digitized age.

The journal has a particular focus on and interest in contemporary issues and practices of media firms as their actors, journalists, executives, publishers and proprietors among others, experience them. Besides scholarly submissions, the editors are interested in articles written by media actors focusing on topics including their activities, problems, strategies, guidelines, management and editorial issues, organization, ethical codes, coverage, distribution, marketing, handling of user-generated material, etc. The journal is the first scholarly publication giving due consideration in publishing material written by media actors. Practitioners, for the first time, will have their articles printed alongside academic papers within the pages of the same journal. Issue 1 includes the articles ’10 Good Practices for News Organaizations Using Twitter’, ‘Transdiciplinary Action Research: Bringing Together Communications and Media Researchers and Practitioners’ and ‘Towards New Goals in European Journalism Education’ among numerous other insightful contributions.
