Journalism & Communication Monographs

Journalism & Communication Monographs serves the AEJMC membership and scholars and readers in adjacent fields by publishing original, scholarly works that are too long or too short as articles or too specialized for book form. One of the goals of the monograph series has been to publish scholarly work from the entire field, whether the methodology was historical, legal, behavioral, or critical. The journal will seek to provide a venue for scholarly works, particularly those that provide a critical or applied synthesis of significant scholarship, that speak to the broader field of journalism and mass communication, seeking to establish Monographs as a readily available resource for understanding and advancing theory, methodology, and/or practice.

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
