*Call for Papers*



We are currently seeking high-quality submissions for our next
peer-reviewed issue, to be published in winter 2016-2017.



*Media Industries *is a peer-reviewed
<http://ec2-54-83-44-0.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ojs-2.4.0/index.php/mij/about/editorialPolicies#sectionPolicies>,
multi-media, open-access online journal that supports critical studies of
media industries and institutions worldwide. We invite contributions that
range across the full spectrum of media industries, including film,
television, internet, radio, music, publishing, gaming, advertising, and
mobile communications. Authors are encouraged to explore a range of
industry-related processes, such as production, distribution,
infrastructure, policy, exhibition, and retailing. Contemporary or
historical studies may explore industries individually or examine
inter-medial relations between industrial sectors employing qualitative,
quantitative, or mixed methodologies; of primary importance is that
submissions adopt a critical perspective.



Authors may, for example, explore how social and cultural factors influence
media industry practices or the ways that media industry practices shape
cultural products. We are especially interested in contributions that draw
attention to global and international perspectives, and use innovative
methodologies, imaginative theoretical approaches, and new research
directions.
