About JCMC: The Discussion Section
The JCMC podcast is where Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication Nicole Ellison and her guests will discuss scholarship about computer-mediated communication in its various forms as well as related topics such as how we develop as communication technology scholars, mentors, and good citizens of the broader community. She will be joined periodically by two of JCMC’s Associate Editors, Scott Campbell and Lee Humphreys, who will focus on topics such as diversifying the field and mobile studies scholarship. We won’t limit ourselves just to JCMC papers and authors, although the topics we cover will be closely related to the key ideas, challenges, and opportunities in the study of CMC and beyond.
