What's Inside
NOTICE

Beginning in March 2009, the Journal of Communication will publish book reviews electronically.  Book reviews will be electronically indexed with the Journal of Communication and will be available as an electronic supplement through the Taylor and Francis Journal of Communication website, as well as through ICA's newsletter and website. The Book reviews will be archived and will be searchable online. Eventually book reviews will no longer appear in print. This move will allow for more space to be devoted to publishing original articles while simultaneously allowing JOC to publish timely book reviews of social scientific and humanistic communication research without page constraints. Accordingly, JOC solicits book reviews for 2008 books and for early-released 2009 books, and invites scholars interested in writing critical review essays for multiple works to contact Book Review Editor Elisia Cohen (elisia.cohen@uky.edu).
