Call for Papers
Transnational Broadcasting
Studies, an electronic journal published by the Adham Center for Television Journalism
at the American University in Cairo, invites submissions to be considered for
publication.
Transnational broadcasting
is by no means limited to the study of the physical means of transmission, such
as satellite technology; it is a multidisciplinary field in which politics, economics,
history, sociology, and multicultural studies come into play. Its development
is accompanied by a myriad of issues of regulation and control, censorship, cross-cultural
influences, and cultural and national values and priorities that also require
examination. The editors welcome submissions that touch on any of these aspects
of the field, in the following forms:
Papers: TBS publishes
both peer-reviewed and non-reviewed papers, plus essays and news articles. Peer-reviewed
articles considered for publication are subject to blind review by a three-member
panel.
Documents, Research
in Brief, and Research in Progress: These sections are designed to broaden
the scope of the journal to include industry reports and research, quantitative
studies, field trials, industry forecasts, profiles, and other works that are
critical for anyone undertaking a serious study of transnational broadcasting
and developing an understanding of this field. Publishing research in progress
and research in brief, including abstracts, allows the journal to stay current
with work being done in a constantly changing field.
Conference Reports:
TBS publishes reports on academic conferences, trade shows, and other events related
to transnational broadcasting through a global network of conference correspondents.
Reviews: Please
see review section
for more information.
TBS also welcomes calendar
items and news items. Also, please contact the managing editor at the address
below if you are interested in taking part in a Virtual Symposium discussion.
All submissions must include:
1) Article title, author name(s) and affiliations; 2) address, phone and fax numbers,
and e-mail address of author(s), and 3) a brief (3-5 sentence) author profile.
In the case of articles to be reviewed, indication of authorship should be restricted
to a title page. TBS will incorporate photos and graphics, video, or audio when
appropriate; please discuss this option with the managing editor if you feel it
is applicable to your submission. TBS reserves the right to make stylistic, non-substantive
changes in manuscripts; any substantive changes will be reviewed with the author
before they are carried out.
Please direct submissions
