Journalism and Discourse Studies is an online, open access, peer reviewed journal for the study of journalism texts and practices through discourse studies. Vast and complex research cultures have developed within the fields of journalism and discourse analysis. Hence this journal provides a space for cross-disciplinary contributions that embrace elements from both backgrounds. Special attention is given to work in the field of critical discourse studies and critical approaches to journalism in both academic and practical contexts. Cross-disciplinary approaches to discourse analysis and discourse theory are encouraged, including but not limited to influences from the fields of communication studies, cultural studies, media studies, linguistics, psychology, sociology, politics, and political science.
