Laura Robinson and Shelia Cotten, the new series co-editors of Emerald
Studies in Media and Communications, are inviting submission of original,
unpublished papers for two volumes to be published in 2014. Beginning in
2014, the series will consist of two annual volumes bringing together
cutting edge research on new media. Thanks to a short publication cycle,
authors will see their work in print within 12 months of submission.

The series welcomes work from a variety of perspectives from media scholars
working in the social sciences, humanities, and related fields such as media
studies, information studies, STS, and communication. Submissions may be
empirical, theoretical, methodological, or synthetic statements of
significant developments in the field. Empirical submissions may make use of
any method or approach. Contributions on a wide variety of topics on new
media, ICTs, communication, and related themes are welcome from a variety of
disciplinary perspectives. For a list of potential themes, please see
series' aims and scope.

Volume I: Communication and Information Technologies Annual 2014
Each year, one volume will build on the series' newly established
association with the Communication and Information Technologies Section of
the American Sociological Association (CITASA). This annual volume will
feature a selection of contributions that will be highlighted at each year's
CITASA business meeting.

Volume II: Doing and Being Digital: Mediated Childhoods
Volume II will assemble cutting edge research focusing on media and youth.
Submissions may examine any aspect of the theme of youth and media broadly
defined. Youth is defined as infancy to young adulthood. We also welcome
submissions on institutions that shape this part of the lifecourse such as
the family, school, community organizations, etc. In addition, we are also
interested in submissions that address theoretical and/or methodological
issues on the topic.

Submissions should be 6,000-12,000 words in length inclusive of abstract,
references, and notes. British or American spelling may be used. While no
special formatting is requested at the outset, upon acceptance authors must
format their manuscripts in accordance with the series' guidelines.
Submissions will be considered for inclusion in either volume to achieve the
best thematic fit. Contributions will be peer-reviewed through both initial
editorial screening and anonymous refereeing by at least two referees.
