Journal of Professional Communication
Call for Papers: JPC, v.1, issue 2
Special Issue - ‘Communicating and Managing Issues, risks and crises’
Guest Editor, Dr. Terence (Terry) Flynn, APR, FCPRS
Issues, risks and crises are a fact of organizational life – especially in this hyper-competitive, ‘always on’, saturated media environment. Those organizations that are able to anticipate and be ready for the turbulent seas that they sail in are more likely to weather the difficult waters and successfully navigate to safer harbours. Some of these difficulties are self-imposed (poor leadership, lack of vision, improperly designed processes and products) while others are a result of drastic and sometimes unforeseen changes in the organization’s operating environment.
The question is – what are the factors necessary for organizations to successfully manage through difficult issues, risks and crises in order to survive potentially catastrophic events?
This special issue of the JPC invites scholars and professionals to reflect on and recommend strategies that organizations should embrace in order to communicate and manage issues, risks and crises in today’s social media world.
We invite original research, case studies, literature reviews, new management models, book reviews, editorials and interviews with leading scholars and professionals.
Manuscripts should be submitted through the JPC website, using the link in the toolbar to the left of this page.
- Submission deadline: 29 February 2012
- Anticipated publication date: June 2012

We hope that you will consider submitting any of your Anthropology of Infectious Disease papers, articles, or other works to our Special Issue.

Russell: the Journal of Bertrand Russell Studies
Russell is devoted to the study of all aspects of Bertrand Russell's thought as well as his life, times and influence. In addition to original research and reviews of new books, Russell publishes new texts and textual studies, discussions, bibliographies, indexes, and archival lists. Scholarly articles submitted to the journal are peer-reviewed twice anonymously. Russell is not the organ of any association or institution.
Russell is published by McMaster University's Bertrand Russell Research Centre with the assistance of grants from the Aid to Scholarly Journals programme of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and from McMaster's Faculty of Humanities.
Note: Access to issues from 2008 to date is by subscription. Russell (ISSN 1913-8032) was founded by McMaster Library in 1971 as a quarterly, and until 1980 it was numbered by cumulative issue number. A new series was begun as Vol. 1, no. 1, in Summer 1981. Here the old series is assigned (for technical reasons) to Vols. 91-100.
Text Technology
In 2010, TEXT Technology, will be relaunched as the Journal of Professional Communication (ISSN: 1920-6852).
TEXT Technology has been an eclectic journal for academics and professional communicators around the world, publishing articles devoted to any use of computers to acquire, analyze, create, edit, or translate texts. It will continue to feature articles and special issues devoted to professional and academic writing and research, software and book reviews, literary and linguistic analyses of texts, electronic publishing and issues related to the Internet, along with annotated bibliographies of printed and electronic materials of use to those with a decided interest in professional communication. In addition, we will publish case studies, opinion pieces, experiments in communication pedagogy, discussions and interviews with prominent Canadian professional communicators and digital works, both critical and commercial, of creativity, art and design.
Toward that end, we will publish three more issues under the TEXT Technology banner, each of which will be a double issue bringing the journal current up to 2009. In 2010, we will move to our new format and our new identity.
Additionally, we are making available a complete archive of every back issue of TEXT Technology on this website. This entire archive will be available to all current subscribers to the journal.
We are also moving to a new "print on demand" model for paper distribution of the journal. Our subscription model will give access to the website, but should you wish to have a bound version of the journal, we will be able to provide unique copies for the price of $25 per issue. This covers our printing, mailing and labour cost to produce the issue. This reflects SSHRC’s current policy direction toward funding electronic journals and is also beneficial to the environment.
Our scope is broad, our readership international. We invite you to become part of that readership.
Yours,
Alexandre Sévigny, Incoming Editor-in-Chief

The McMaster Journal of Communication
MJC 2011: CALL FOR PAPERS
The McMaster Journal of Communication, Volume 8, Issue 1
The McMaster Journal of Communication welcomes submissions on topics related to the theme of “Communities, Publics, and Communication.”
The relationship of an organization or an individual with its publics is complicated and often challenging. In the broadest terms, a public is a group of people with whom an organization has built a relationship and a reputation. In traditional public relations theory, this process is ideally symmetrical, transparent and built upon trust. Social media has introduced a new set of parameters on how organizations, individuals, publics and communities interact. We invite papers that examine the relationships between communities, publics and communication with organizations and individuals, from either a traditional media or social media perspective (or both). How are these publics constructed and construed? Has the concept of community changed? How are organizations and individuals communicating with their publics?
The McMaster Journal of Communication encourages high-quality, original manuscripts and multimedia projects from students related to the above theme. Potential topics could include, but are not limited to the following:
- Case studies
- Imagined or virtual communities
- Populations and sub-groups
- Audiences
- Security
- Citizen journalism
- social activism/social movements
- Social networking
- Messaging
- The internet and the public sphere/civic culture
- New media and political participation
- Propaganda
Deadline to Submit: October 15, 2011
Submissions: Papers (4,000 to 7,000 words) and multimedia projects including video, audio, design, and digital games
Guidelines: For submission guidelines please see the Policies section on the left navigation bar.
