Journalism Practice provides opportunities for reflective, critical and research-based studies focused on the professional practice of journalism. The emphasis on journalism practice does not imply any false or intellectually disabling disconnect between theory and practice, but simply an assertion that Journalism Practice’s primary concern is to analyse and explore issues of practice and professional relevance. Journalism Practice is an intellectually rigorous journal with all contributions being refereed anonymously by acknowledged international experts in the field. An intellectually lively, but professionally experienced, Editorial Board with a wide-ranging experience of journalism practice advises and supports the Editor.
Journalism Practice is devoted to: the study and analysis of significant issues arising from journalism as a field of professional practice; relevant developments in journalism training and education, as well as the construction of a reflective curriculum for journalism; analysis of journalism practice across the distinctive but converging media platforms of magazines, newspapers, online, radio and television; and the provision of a public space for practice-led, scholarly contributions from journalists as well as academics.
Journalism Practice’s ambitious scope includes:
-
the history of journalism practice;
-
the professional practice of journalism;
-
journalism training and education;
-
journalism practice and new technology;
-
journalism practice and ethics; and
-
journalism practice and policy.
Journalism Practice complements current trends to expansion in the teaching and analysis of journalism practice within the academy, reflection on the emergence of a reflective curriculum and thereby helps to consolidate journalism as an intellectual discipline within the landscape of higher education.
All articles in Journalism Practice have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymised refereeing by two anonymous referees. Instructions for Authors can be found here.
"Our field has long needed exactly this journal. Too often, much too often, in other academic journals, the professional practice of journalism is an afterthought - if it is a thought at all. With a distinguished, professionally-oriented, international editorial board, Journalism Practice promises to fill ably the largest void in our field."
Jack Lule, Joseph B. McFadden Distinguished Professor of Journalism, Lehigh University
