Journal of Global Mass Communication
This peer-reviewed scientific journal publishes theoretical and empirical papers and essays and book reviews that examine the way in which similarities and differences articulate mass communication relations on a global scale. It also explores the way in which similarities and differences open up spaces for discourse, research and application in the field of mass communication praxis. JGMC seeks innovative articles that utilize critical and empirical approaches regarding global mass communication, including, but not limited to, systems, structures, processes, practices and culture. These articles could deal with content, as well as its production, consumption and effects, all of which are situated within inter- and trans-national, cross-cultural, inter-disciplinary and especially comparative perspectives. All theoretical and methodological perspectives are welcomed.

Special Issue: Media, Globalization and the Postcolony
Guest Editor: Herman Wasserman, Newcastle University, UK
hwasserman@imasa.org
Submission deadline: 1 January 2009
The accelerated globalization of media, especially as a result of technological advances during recent decades, has impacted greatly on the way media and journalism is being understood in the developed world. Media have become pervasive in everyday life, and new media technologies have blurred the distinction between producers and consumers. Distant regions of the world have been brought in close proximity due to the global reach of media, and global media organisations have aggressively penetrated new markets around the globe.
Several critics have argued that the global flow of informational and cultural content is not only a one-way street — in the era of global media, contraflows and hybridities have emerged that challenge binary perceptions of global informational flows. Yet media and communication scholarship is still dominated by perspectives from the global North, due in part to the political economy of research and publishing. The result is that experiences based on the interaction between media and society in the developed world are given the status of theory, only rarely to be challenged by counter-perspectives from other regions of the world.
It would be too crude and simplistic to equate the imbalance in media flows with a new type of colonialism, yet it cannot be denied that current global asymmetries of power map onto the history of colonial domination and subjection. Although globalization does not equal imperialism, the process of globalization cannot be fully understood without understanding the history of colonialism and its persistent legacies.
To understand the way media constructs and impacts upon global society today, it is therefore necessary to link our view of contemporary global media architectures, markets and flows with the history of colonialism and decolonization; the persistent patterns of domination and exclusion with colonial and postcolonial discourse; and refuse an ahistorical approach to the challenge for equitable and ethical global media.
This themed issue invites submissions dealing with research questions related to the above approach to global media. Critical contributions, particularly those focusing on the impact of media globalization on the global South or analyze global media from the perspective of postcolonial theory, are especially invited.
Submissions should be between 6000 and 8000 words, following APA style. Manuscripts are double-blind peer reviewed.
