Magazine Studies

Magazine Studies will launch as an online peer-reviewed journal devoted to research into the past, present and future of magazines. Although magazines are one of the oldest media forms, scholarly study has been curiously dispersed and fragmented across a wide range of disciplines – history, sociology, visual communications, art history and design, journalism, media and cultural studies.

The journal’s broad aim will be to provide a centralized site for the work of international magazine researchers, from all disciplines, to encourage and enable the development of magazine studies as a rich and distinct scholarly field.

Magazine Studies will encourage submissions from academics and industry practitioners on any aspect of magazine scholarship, practice, and education.

Magazine Studies will be co-edited by Megan Le Masurier (University of Sydney) and Tim Holmes (Cardiff University).
