Call for papers for audio/visual essays for the Media Studies Journal
Deadline 15 September 2026
Mediální studia / Media Studies calls for the submission of audio/visual essays for its first edition of 2027. As part of the journal’s innovation strategy, peer-reviewed audio/visual essays will complement the journal’s already-existing written text articles. The aim of this expansion is to strengthen academic multimodality, validate academic work that transcends hegemonic forms of academic knowledge sharing and benefit from the abilities that auditive and visual modes of communication create.

Financed by the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism, at Charles University’s Faculty of Social Sciences, the journal is diamond open access, and, in other words, does not charge publication fees and makes its publications freely available.
