Call for Papers: Image is the New Text
Electronic Journal of Communication
Submission Date: June 15, 2018 (revised date)
Today, the written word is no longer the principal mode of communication. Instead, a stream of digital visuals, in the form of pictures, photos, GIFs, infographics, memes, and videos, floods users' smartphones, iPads, laptops, and other digital devices. This special issue addresses the rising importance of digital images in communications as citizens across the globe transition from a textual communication landscape to a dawning visual era. We welcome research drawing on all theoretical and methodological perspectives. Research on newer and understudied social media platforms, such as Instagram and SnapChat, is particularly encouraged.
Questions: Please address any questions to the Special Issue Editor, Professor Terri L. Towner, Oakland University, email: [towner at oakland dot edu]
