Language, Media and Society

Language, Media and Society is an open-access, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring how language practices and media technologies shape – and are shaped by – the societies we live in.

​

Founded by a collective of early-career scholars, this journal aims to provide a more flexible, inclusive, and transparent platform for academic publishing. We believe that knowledge should be shared openly, communicated clearly, and nurtured through dialogue rather than gatekeeping.

​

We especially welcome contributions from emerging scholars, scholars working across cultures or disciplines, and those whose work may not fit neatly into traditional academic molds. Whether it’s a full-length research article, an experimental piece, or a critical reflection, we are open to innovative formats that help push the boundaries of academic communication.

​

In a time when academic publishing is often slow, opaque, and overly rigid, Language, Media and Society seeks to foster a more human-centered publishing experience:

​

• Flexible formatting that centers content over strict style

• Open peer review communication that is constructive and timely

• A platform to amplify underrepresented voices, especially from the Global South and marginalized contexts

• Commitment to open access, with no article processing fees

• Space for experimentation, dialogue, and the evolution of scholarly ideas

 

We are not just a journal—we’re building a community. One that embraces new modes of knowledge production, values care in scholarly exchange, and believes in making research more accessible and equitable.

We hope you’ll join us.
