Communication Booknotes Quarterly (CBQ) is an annotated review service for recent books, reports, documents, and electronic publications on all aspects of communication designed for an audience of scholars and librarians in the United States and around the world. Subject areas of interest include, but are not limited to: advertising, public relations, journalism, telecommunications, media effects, media economics, media regulation and policy, media ethics, critical and cultural studies, popular culture, books and publishing, film studies, interpersonal communication, and organizational communication. This journal enjoys the talents of a dozen members who make up an active board of contributors. These topical and regional experts share the quarterly production of hundreds of descriptive and critical reviews. The contributors cover English-, and foreign-language publications from the United States and around the world.
CBQ publishes three kinds of reviews: (1) topical review essays comparing and integrating multiple publications about a given subject; (2) longer single book reviews that evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a single book in a given area of communication; and (3) brief annotated reviews across a variety of subjects. Issues often begin with a topical review essay concerning publications about a specific topic. Individual reviews are assigned and open submissions are also welcome. The final issue of each year includes an author index and a cumulative book title index to the year's reviews.
