期刊简介：Accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training for university research purposes African Journalism Studies subscribes to the Code of Best Practice for Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journals of the Academy of Science of South Africa . Affiliated with: the Journalism Research and Education Section of the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) the Journalism Studies Division of the International Communication Association (ICA) The African Council for Communication Education (ACCE) The South African Communication Association (Sacomm) African Journalism Studies ( AJS ) aims to contribute to the ongoing extension of the theories, methodologies and empirical data to under-researched areas of knowledge production, through its emphasis on African journalism studies within a broader, comparative perspective of the Global South. AJS strives for theoretical diversity and methodological inclusivity, by developing theoretical approaches and making critical interventions in global scholarly debates. The journal's comparative and interdisciplinary approach is informed by the related fields of cultural and media studies, communication studies, African studies, politics, and sociology. The field of journalism studies is understood broadly, as including the practices, norms, value systems, frameworks of representation, audiences, platforms, industries, theories and power relations that relate to the production, consumption and study of journalism. A wide definition of journalism is used, which extends beyond news and current affairs to include digital and social media, documentary film and narrative non-fiction. Manuscripts dealing with the intersections between journalism, politics, culture and society as these pertain to Africa and comparable regions in the Global South are especially invited. Areas of focus may include, but are not limited to: the political economy of journalism; global flows and contraflows of journalistic content and capital; journalism and social change; journalism and cultural identity; freedom of the press; journalism ethics; theories of journalism; journalism education and research; changing journalistic practices and norms. The role of journalism in mediating the emerging geopolitical relations between Africa and other regions of the Global South is of particular interest. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double-anonymized and submission is online via African Journalism Studies has emerged as a key intellectual forum for the study of journalism in Africa. Its theoretical and empirical interventions have not only enriched journalism studies in Africa, but the journal also contributes significantly towards internationalization of this rapidly globalizing field. - Daya Thussu, University of Westminster For decades, African Journalism Studies has been a source of first rate scholarship regarding journalism and mass communication in Africa. The continued growth and status of the journal are testament to the consistent quality of its editors, editorial board, and peer review process. - Mark Deuze, Indiana University African Journalism Studies is the premier journalism studies journal in and on Africa. Its authorship has always been global. Debating the entire paradigmatic spectrum, the journal is never shy to publish controversial and challenging articles. - Keyan G. Tomaselli, University of KwaZulu-Natal The fact that African Journalism Studies has stayed active despite the vicissitudes that have driven many journals out of circulation, is testimony not only of its editorial competence, but also of its ability to publish articles of quality and to attract outstanding scholars. - Francis B. Nyamnjoh, University of Cape Town
