CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS
A little while ago, one of our authors wrote the editor, saying: "I'm glad you like these little essays. I have fun writing them...it's a nice forum for sharing thoughts about things that I'm working on/thinking about, without the formality of a big research paper." Right on! Media Ethics magazine has said many times that we will welcome the submission of any manuscript that deals with both the media and ethics. True enough! But sometimes this language makes people think that we are only interested in journalism, or in the traditional mass media of newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the like. Not true. Instead, we are also interested in the movies, the theater, blogging, and the teaching of ethics. We welcome commentary and research (and have published satire, poetry, and manuscripts that are hard to classify-but which deal with ethics and communication) that refer to "old media," "new media," and matters that nobody has previously written about. Aesthetics? Philosophy? Technology? Sure! Labor, management, diversity? Naturally! Entertainment, journalism and other information, persuasion (such as advertising, public relations and psychological warfare)? Reporting, history, government policy and the Internet? Of course!

Media Ethics also publishes reviews, reports, digests, bibliographies, case studies for news of meetings, opportunities, and publications.

To sum up, we would like to receive from you, and from your fellow media professionals, scholars, or students any appropriate material that is well-written and well-reasoned. Our deadlines usually are February 15 and August 15. (But please keep the length of your submissions within our ability to publish them. Although we often print much longer articles, many of our commentaries run to 1,200 words or less. And, for the benefit of readers, we are happy when an article provides reference citations, even though many commentaries or "opinion pieces" do very well without them.) Naturally, all submissions are subject to editing-but we communicate about any problems or needed changes and are very flexible when it comes to ideas, viewpoints, format and style.
