This peer-reviewed scientific journal publishes theoretical and empirical papers and essays and book reviews that advance an understanding of the role and function (and dysfunctions) of mass media and mass communication in society or the world. Submissions must have a sociological focus, which means a focus on culture, social interaction, social structure, institutions and/or organizations. Both micro and macro perspectives are welcomed, as are all theoretical and methodological perspectives.
