The Society for New Communications Research is pleased to announce that the first issue of the Journal of New Communications Research is now available. In addition to recapping the research projects that the SNCR has undertaken during our first year, this inaugural publication also includes original in-depth research, articles and commentary by many of our research fellows and other notable contributors from around the world. The print edition is available for $60. A .pdf is available for $52.69. We will also soon be posting the articles in a wiki and we encourage subscribers’ participation, comments, questions and any related or updated research. This will create a unique living repository of research.

The Society is seeking articles or projects based on original empirical research, as well as pieces focusing on the theory, strategy and tactical use of new media, social media and collaborative tools. Submissions should be in keeping with the mission of the SNCR: to conduct advanced study on the tools, technologies and emerging modes of communication ( i.e. blogs, wikis, RSS, podcasts, collaborative tools and the growing phenomena of participatory communications) and their effect on traditional media, marketing, public relations and advertising, as well as their broader impact on business, politics, entertainment, culture, education and society.

Successful submissions will exhibit in-depth, professional/scholarly examinations of these topics, and will be reviewed and chosen based on the quality of research conducted, originality of content, relevance to the Society’s mission and excellence of execution.
