About us
Journal of Media Scholars
Greetings!!
Media professionals around the world engage in active information and perspective sharing across different platforms. Nevertheless, scholarly articles face certain limitations, particularly in regions like the global south. This is especially evident for scholars specializing in Modern Indian Languages, who lack sufficient academic journals that offer opportunities to contribute their insights and address media, communication, and societal issues.
Our objective is to address this gap by publishing research papers in Hindi and English twice a year. Our journal covers a broad range of topics within Media Studies and related fields, and it undergoes a rigorous peer-review process. Media Scholar began in January, 2023 in the online mode as a tri-annual journal. It later became Bi-annual in 2024. By offering a bilingual (Hindi & English) platform for Mass Communication, we aim to serve students, faculty members, and professionals within the industry.
