Launched in 2013, Digital Journalism is the premier outlet for advancing international research into digital journalism studies (DJS). The journal aims to maintain its position as a leader of cutting-edge journalism research, providing a critical forum to advance scholarship that intersects with numerous disciplines. The Digital Journalism editorial team welcomes interdisciplinary research in the forms of original articles (7000-9,000 words), conceptual articles (4,000 words, exl. references), review articles (8-000-12,000 words), and advancing methods articles (4,000 words, exl. references).
