The Journal of Media Economics is a leading journal for the media discipline. It publishes relevant insights from rigorous original research on the economics and policy of mediated communication, focusing on firms and institutions as well as on markets and societies.
The journal has been established in 1988 and was managed for more than three decades by conscientious editors from communication research or media economics. The quality of the journal is reflected in the impressive list of international authors that worked together with the ad hoc reviewers, the editorial board, and the editors in publishing their work. As the new editors, we congratulate you for your excellent work.
The Journal of Media Economics is now edited by two researchers that work on the interfaces of innovation, marketing, information systems, and media. We both recognize the initial focus of the Journal of Media Economics on policies promoting social and political objectives because they continue to have significant economic impacts on media. We aim to keep this research tradition alive. In the following, we elaborate on our vision regarding the future scope and structure of the Journal of Media Economics.
