Volume 15 will focus on “new” and “old” media and social movements. We encourage submissions on the relationship between older media (e.g., newspapers, books, music, radio and network and cable television) and/or “new” media (e.g., the Web, social media) and social movements, activism, protest, and/or movement-relevant political communication. We welcome submissions using a wide variety of data and analytic techniques, assuming they are rigorously employed, and theoretical or methodological submissions, assuming they focus squarely on the topic of the volume. Contributions will be peer-reviewed through editorial screening and anonymous refereeing by external reviewers.
