CALL FOR ESSAYS - PLATFORM: Journal of Media and Communication, 15 Nov 2009 [28.10.2009]
Essays are now invited for PLATFORM: Journal of Media and Communication
We would like to invite (post)graduate students and early career researchers to think and write about the constitutive role communication plays in the cultural, technological and political aspects of our lives. Independent in theme, essays should provoke discussion about contemporary issues in communications and media as they are being experienced around the world.
In addition to PLATFORM’s theme-based peer-reviewed articles, the essays aim to help us better understand issues associated with the rising significance of multiple media and communication platforms for societies and individuals across various globalised and localised environments.
The following guidelines apply to all submissions.
Deadline: 15 November 2009.
Essay Length: 2000-6000 words including notes and references
