Global Mass Communication
Review (GMCR)
"Media, Humanity and
Communication"
Global
Mass Communication Review (GMCR) was introduced by Humanity
Only (HO) through the auspices and guidance of the Humanity Research Council (HRC) - an
offshoot of Humanity Development Society
(HDS). GMCR promotes a wide
range of research studies and findings where newly emerging tools and patterns
such as experiments, observations, interviews, analysis, and surveys are
utilized. The journal encourages multidisciplinary academic and research interests.
GMCR is a multi-disciplinary,
quarterly, triple-blind peer-reviewed research journal that publishes works in
all major disciplines and sub-disciplines of mass communication i.e. Media and
Communication Studies, Development Journalism, Television and Film, Advertising
& Public Relations. Further details are available at www.gmcrjournal.com.
§ Mission & Vision
Whereas mass communications are
pervasive and ubiquitous aspects of modern societies, GMCR fulfills the major responsibility of exploring and conveying developments
in human societies to the interested audience. This academic journal accepts manuscripts
pertaining to the micro and macro areas of research in this field, including
Newspapers, Radio, TV, Community Media, New Media, Mobile, and Social Media of
communication, which amply highlights the inter-dependence of mass
communication and sections of our society. The manuscripts that explore various
broad aspects like history, development, innovations, trends and the influence
of the media on a cross-section of the population are specifically promoted. GMCR is an Open Access journal that envisions
free access of readers to its well-researched articles. The journal peer-reviews
the submitted manuscripts thoroughly.
GMCR aims for making possible a future
where media development is based on an informed decision-making process.
Therefore, the journal stimulates innovative developments in current academic
and social perception through research as they stand disconnected from the actual
application and it offers sustainable solutions to the problems confronted by
humanity. GMCR intends to spearhead the
global advancement in research where theories connect with the application
while maintaining the best features of theoretical and applied aspects. GMCR Journal aims to update research
practices and their philosophical underpinning by publishing the best of theory
and application in the field of mass communication.
