PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITY FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS

Global Media Journal (GMJ), a new online publication, features a 
section, Graduate Research Forum, specifically for papers written by 
graduate students on global communication related issues.  The journal 
seeks to open up space for ideas that have taken life in the minds of 
graduate students but will probably not see light of the day for many 
more years in traditional journals.  As these fresh ideas work their way 
through dissertation committees and journal review panels, they will get 
clearly defined, situated in relevant literature, and acquire a strength 
and durability that will withstand both the scrutiny of scholars and the 
test of time.  But then, they will also loose their playfulness and zing 
that captured the imagination of an inexperienced but curious mind in 
the first place.  GMJs Graduate Research Forum aims to both recognize 
and nurture ideas that may shape tomorrows intellectual landscape.

Papers on any issue related to the role of media in the process of 
globalization would be appropriate for the Graduate Research Forum. Some 
of the possible topics could include: existing media structures and 
practices, globalization of TV genres, global media and consumer 
culture, the commercialization of news, development of alternative 
media, and structure of global Internet. Submissions should be no longer 
than twenty double-spaced pages and should conform to the APA style.

Send your paper to Prof. Harmeet Sawhney, who is serving as the guest 
editor for the inaugural issue, as an email attachment (MS WORD FILE, 
RTF FORMAT) at HSAWHNEY at INDIANA.EDU.  The guest editor will select the 
papers with assistance from GMJs editorial board.

When you visit GMJs web site (http://www.globalmediajournal.com), you 
will see that the journal also features an interactive "Open Forum" for 
posing questions, making comments, and responding to queries.  We 
anticipate that conversations generated by papers published in the 
Graduate Research Forum will spill over to the Open Forum generating 
valuable input for further development of your ideas.  The other 
sections of GMJ include: refereed papers, book reviews, announcements, 
conferences, and employment opportunities.  Prof. Yahya R. Kamalipour is 
the Editor-in-Chief of GMJ.
