Call for Applications
Two Associate Editors
Officially Assuming Duties July 21 2021; Overseeing 2021-2024 Volumes

The Journal of Communication Technology in association with the Communication Technology division of AEJMC is seeking applications for Associate Editors. The appointed Associate Editors will begin processing manuscripts Summer 2021, officially assuming duties July 21 202 and overseeing volumes for 2021-2024.

Description of the Journal
The Journal of Communication Technology is the official journal of the Communication Technology division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. We are a fast-growing journal seeking to expand our editorial staff as our number of monthly submissions continue to skyrocket. We are on track to publish four issues this year, the third of which will come out sometime in late July or early August. The expressed aim of this journal is to bring together research that facilitates discussion and cultivates understanding of the ways in which communication technologies are changing not only media processes and content, but also audiences, institutions, and society at large. Since communication technologies themselves have now come to fulfill a central, social role in virtually all forms of mediated communication, JoCTEC welcomes scholarship from a broad area of inquiry provided that the focus pertains to communication technologies. This includes but is not limited to studies of social media, advertising, science, networks, health, politics, history, policy, public relations, management, economics, ethics, minorities, and visual communication.

Requirements and Responsibilities
The Associate Editors must be a member or become a member of AEJMC Communication Technology division and must maintain membership in the division throughout the editorial term. Additional responsibilities include the following:

● Promoting submissions to the journal.

● Providing timely decisions and suitable feedback to authors.

● Assembling issues according to the publication schedule.

● Maintaining good communication with fellow JoCTEC editorial team.

● A commitment to serve if selected.

● Current research agenda.

● Editorial philosophy and ability to meet editorial responsibilities.

Application materials should also include:

● A current vita.

● Names and contact information for two people who can serve as references for the
