Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies 12.2 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to announce that Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies 12.2 is out now!

 

Special Issue: ‘Communicating chaos: New perspectives on VUCA’

 

This Special Issue revisits the almost forty-year-old acronym for volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) and investigates how present experiences of chaos may benefit from the systems-thinking approaches of VUCA. The Special Issue seeks to make an argument for further development of VUCA models addressing the paucity of tools in existing chaos and complexity in communication strategies.

Aims & Scope

 

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 within media production, i.e. broadcasters, newspapers, radio, 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.

 

This title is indexed with Scopus and the Web of Science’s Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
