Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly (JMCQ)

Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly (JMCQ) is one of the oldest and most influential academic journals in the communication and journalism field, first established in 1924 as the Journalism Bulletin and evolving into its current form through sustained scholarly impact. It is the flagship journal of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) and is published quarterly by SAGE Publications on behalf of AEJMC. The journal publishes rigorous theoretical and empirical research articles and substantive book reviews that contribute to advancing communication theory, methodology, and practice. JMCQ covers a broad range of topics including media systems and policy, journalism practices and history, international communication, advertising and public relations, media law and ethics, political and health communication, and emerging media technologies. Its interdisciplinary scope attracts work that uses diverse research methods—quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods—and addresses both domestic and global media issues. The journal’s role in shaping scholarship is reflected in its indexing in leading citation databases such as Social Sciences Citation Index and its longevity as a central forum for communication research dialogue. As a quarterly publication, JMCQ continues to support innovation and critical inquiry in journalism and mass communication studies worldwide.
