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 book page 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 and queries to:
