SNCR Announces Call for Papers for Journal of New Communications Research
The Society for New Communications Research is now seeking submissions and sponsors for the next issue of the Journal of New Communications Research. The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2008.
RE: EDITORIAL SUBMISSIONS
Articles should be 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.
