Publishing Venues

Here are a few venues for publishing my awe in advertising research:

1. Center for Culture and Cultural Studies (CCCS) Conference. This looks very interesting. The conference is in Macedonia though, so I don't know how feasible this kind of conference submission is. It's worth looking into though. According to their website, "The aim of this conference revolves around a foundational impetus to shed greater light on all relevant aspects of media studies, including mass communication, media technology, the visual and the performing arts, TV, radio, WEB and print media, as well as other key components of media studies and mass communication."

2. Media, Culture & Society. This journal's focus is "on substantive topics and on critique and innovation in theory and method." It encompasses both research and discussion on current topics and technology in media. I think that it would encompass my work on awe in advertising.

3. Crosscurrents. This is a section within Media, Culture & Society. It deals primarily with discussing trends in media and direction for future research. 

4. Journal of Visual Culture. This journal crosses the boundaries of many different types of media, including television. I'm assuming that this includes advertising, but I'll have to look into it some more. It seems to be a venue where ideas and issues are discussed rather than hard data, which seems like a good match for my research.

5. Journal of Consumer Culture. According to their website, this journal is interested in "supporting and promoting the continuing expansion in interdisciplinary research focused on consumption and consumer culture, opening up debates and areas of exploration." Advertising deals directly with consumer culture. My research will show how awe is connected to that consumer culture, so this seems like a good fit.

6. Advertising and Society Review. This journal is devoted to "advertising and its relationship to society, culture, history, and the economy." I don't think my paper will necessarily be full of statistics, so any journal that requires hard data and research would be out of the scope of my work. I think this journal is a good match for my type of paper.
