Journalism & Communication Monographs
Mission and Submission Process
Beginning March 1, 2008, the mission of the Journalism and Communication Monographs is to provide a venue for scholarly works, particularly those that provide a critical or applied synthesis of significant scholarship. Works especially are encouraged that speak to the broader field of journalism and mass communication, seeking to establish the Monographs as a readily available resource for understanding and advancing theory, methodology and/or practice.
Following the practice common within book publication, scholars are invited to submit five- to nine-page proposals for a publication of 75 to 100 pages in length. Proposals will undergo blind peer review. Proposals accepted after this review will be given a specific deadline for a completed manuscript submission. The original reviewers will also review the final manuscript, to see if it conforms with the direction and vision originally approved, determine what further revisions (if any) might be needed, and make a final publication decision. This two-stage procedure is designed to help Monographs publish work of broad interest on a reasonable and timely schedule.
Send proposals to Kathy McKee at Berry College, PO Box 490299, Mount Berry GA 30149-0299. E-mail McKee or call 706.233.4071 with questions.
