It will be most helpful if you would post the following announcement on air-l listserv. Thanks. PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITY FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS Global Media Journal (GMJ), a new online publication, features a section, Graduate Research Forum, specifically for papers written by graduate students on global communication related issues. The journal seeks to open up space for ideas that have taken life in the minds of graduate students but will probably not see light of the day for many more years in traditional journals. As these fresh ideas work their way through dissertation committees and journal review panels, they will get clearly defined, situated in relevant literature, and acquire a strength and durability that will withstand both the scrutiny of scholars and the test of time. But then, they will also loose their playfulness and zing that captured the imagination of an inexperienced but curious mind in the first place. GMJs Graduate Research Forum aims to both recognize and nurture ideas that may shape tomorrows intellectual landscape. Papers on any issue related to the role of media in the process of globalization would be appropriate for the Graduate Research Forum. Some of the possible topics could include: existing media structures and practices, globalization of TV genres, global media and consumer culture, the commercialization of news, development of alternative media, and structure of global Internet. Submissions should be no longer than twenty double-spaced pages and should conform to the APA style. Send your paper to Prof. Harmeet Sawhney, who is serving as the guest editor for the inaugural issue, as an email attachment (MS WORD FILE, RTF FORMAT) at HSAWHNEY@INDIANA.EDU. The guest editor will select the papers with assistance from GMJs editorial board. When you visit GMJs web site (http://www.globalmediajournal.com), you will see that the journal also features an interactive "Open Forum" for posing questions, making comments, and responding to queries. We anticipate that conversations generated by papers published in the Graduate Research Forum will spill over to the Open Forum generating valuable input for further development of your ideas. The other sections of GMJ include: refereed papers, book reviews, announcements, conferences, and employment opportunities. Prof. Yahya R. Kamalipour is the Editor-in-Chief of GMJ.
