Aims and Scope

 

Interactions: Studies in Communication & Culture recognizes the interdisciplinary nature of the fields of media, communication and cultural studies and we therefore encourage diverse themes, subjects, contexts and approaches; empirical, theoretical and historical. Our objective is to engage readers and contributors from different parts of the world in a critical debate on the myriad of interconnections and interactions between communication, culture and society.

 

It is our intention to encourage the development of the widest possible scholarly community, both in terms of geographical location and intellectual scope and we will publish leading articles from both established scholars and those at the beginning of their careers.

 

Particular interests include, but are not limited to, work related to popular culture, media audiences, political economy, political communication, journalism studies, media institutions and practices, media and communication policy, community and alternative media, global media and online and social media.

 

Prospective guest editors may approach the editor with suggestions for themed issues or series.
