The editors are interested in topics covering problems media outlets face in our digitized world. contributions from both academics and practitioners are welcome. The editors expect academics to illustrate in their contributions how media and communication theories and paradigms are to be applied to the real world of media firms. The editors expect practitioners – journalists, executives, publishers and proprietors – to write short or long essays on their experiences and the real situations where their activities take place.
