Whether it be a lack of shelf space, the fact that you may only use one of them, or wanting to have our association be a greener, more Earth-friendly organization, ICA members have often expressed a desire to choose which ICA journals they receive. Currently all three printed ICA journals: the Journal of Communication, Human Communication Research and Communication Theory are sent to all members. As our fifth journal is introduced (the fourth Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication is an online publication), you will be able to tell us which, up to two, of the three flagship journals you would like to receive. While you have an option of receiving up to two journals, that is certainly not a requirement! If you want only one or would prefer to access them solely through the internet, just tell us! You can select one, two or none at all. Everyone will receive the new journal, Communication, Culture, & Critique, during its first year of publication. The choices made will ONLY affect what you receive in the mail. All journals will remain accessible online to all active members.
Volume 1, Issue 1 of Communication, Culture, & Critique, ICA’s fifth scholarly journal is scheduled for publication on March 1, 2008. Subsequent issues will follow on a quarterly basis. ICA member, Karen Ross (Liverpool U) will serve as inaugural editor. The new journal publishes critical, interpretive, and qualitative research examining the role of communication and cultural criticism in today's world. For a more detailed description about the journal as well as the current Call for Submissions and instructions on how to submit direct your web browser to

While we are on the subject of journals, did you know that you can have the links to all the online journals right in your MyICA page in the Members Only section of the ICA web site? If you do not already see the links, you should click “Update My ICA Links” in your Account Manager on the MyICA page, select the links to the journals from the list and then click to continue. From that point on, you will be able to access the journal directly from ICA.
One last thing: As of January, the default setting for all members who have not made their selection is “no journals selected.” So be sure to set your preference now!
