Call for Contributions

Following the launch of the new website at the Journal of Media Practice Symposium this summer, we are now seeking contributions in a variety of forms from the academic, postgraduate and professional media communities. The principle aim is to do what paper-based publishing is unable to do - provide an exciting and responsive service to media practice communities in the UK and beyond. Read our full mission statement here.

We invite contributions of films, videos, works-in-progress, installations, draft papers/articles, news items, features - anything relating to ongoing research, projects and practice. All contributions will be subject to review and approval by the journal editor, Prof Gareth Palmer.

The Screenworks section also contains details on the separate submission procedure for peer-review of practice (edited by Dr Charlotte Crofts).

Please send your website contributions in the first instance to g.w.bevan1@salford.ac.uk. Or get in touch should you wish to discuss an idea/proposal for a potential contribution with us.
