Journal of Creative Communications
The Journal of Creative Communications promotes inquiry into contemporary communication issues with implications for society and business. The journal encourages a new language of analysis for contemporary communications research and publishes articles that push the frontiers of theory and practice. JOCC showcases diversity of theoretical positions and methodologies to readers across disciplines and regions and calls for contribution in the disciplines of communication, management, and media. As a journal committed to nurturing scholarship from early career researchers and emerging economies, we encourage new research in media, creative, and culture industries; strategic communication for business and marketing; communication for social change; cultural studies and related domains.
