Guidelines for manuscript submission: PDF Print E-mail
All intellectual perspectives are welcome at the Southwestern Mass Communication Journal. However, the editorial board of the journal asks authors to consider the following issues before they submit a manuscript:

• The journal publishes twice a year. The spring issue is generally filled with manuscripts from a paper competition, which is sponsored by the Southwest Education Council for Journalism and Mass Communication. Therefore, authors who have not entered the paper competition may submit manuscripts for consideration any time. But those manuscripts will be published only in the fall.

• Please use the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition, as the style guide.
