A publication agreement between the University of Nebraska Press and the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication will expand the reach of two journals while providing benefits to both organizations.
Through the agreement, the University of Nebraska Press will begin to publish the Journal of Magazine Media, the official publication of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication’s magazine division. The contract also makes the University of Nebraska Press’ Journal of Sports Media the official journal of the association’s sports communications interest group.
The Journal of Magazine Media is currently a digital-only publication. The journal will benefit from University of Nebraska Press’ connections with major scholarly publications, its print-on-demand capabilities, and its range of editorial, production, marketing and fulfillment services. The journal is edited by Kevin Lerner, an assistant professor of communication and journalism at Marist College.
The Journal of Sports Media has been published by University of Nebraska Press since its 2006 launch. A related book series, “Sports, Media and Society” is also part of the University of Nebraska Press publication stable.
Members of the association’s sports communications interest group will receive access to the electronic version of the Journal of Sports Media. The journal editor is Mary Lou Sheffer, associate professor of mass communication and journalism at the University of Southern Mississippi.
University of Nebraska Press will start publishing the Journal of Magazine Media beginning with Volume 19. The Journal of Sports Media is available to the association’s members in 2018.
