[Air-L] Open access journals

[Jacob Groshek]

Dear Colleagues:

Shameless self promotion, but the Communication Technology Division of the
Association for Education and Journalism in Mass Communication (AEJMC) has
recently launched the Journal of Communication Technology (see
http://www.joctec.org/), which is open access and self published at Boston
University.  We've published our first issue last year and are currently
accepting submissions on an ongoing basis, as well as searching for
associate editors (see call on the journal homepage).

If anyone has questions, I'm currently the Editor so please feel free to
reach out.

Thanks,

Jacob
