Aims and Scope

The Radio Journal publishes critical analyses of radio and sound media across a variety of platforms, from broadcast to podcast and all in between. We define ‘radio’ broadly to include not only traditional broadcasting, but any form of creative or factual expression that takes place primarily through sound.

We look for articles that explore the production, circulation and reception of radio and creative soundwork, and encourage a wide range of international and interdisciplinary perspectives on both historical and contemporary issues in sound-based journalism and media studies.

The Radio Journal welcomes scholarship from early career researchers as well as internationally renowned scholars. The Radio Journal is an English-language journal with a strong international editorial board. It is a refereed publication; all research articles undergo rigorous double-blind peer review. The editors will review other contributions. The process normally takes three to six months to complete, from submission to decision.

Scholars around the world are invited to submit original articles of 6000–8000 words (including notes and references – but not including the author biography, keywords or abstract), following Intellect style guidelines. The Radio Journal also publishes book reviews, conference reports, viewpoint essays on current debates, translations, and news of digital and archival sources for research.
