PLATFORM: Journal of Media and Communication is a fully refereed, open-access online graduate journal. Founded and published by the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne (Australia), PLATFORM was launched in November 2008.

PLATFORM is refereed by an international board of established and emerging scholars working across diverse fields in media and communication studies, and is edited by graduate students at the University of Melbourne.

PLATFORM invites graduate students working in disciplines related to media studies to submit to the journal. We also welcome applications for editorial positions as well as proposals to guest edit a special issue of the journal. For more information and to apply, please contact us at platformjmc@gmail.com.
