Flow is an online journal of television and media studies, published by the Department of Radio-TV-Film at the University of Texas at Austin.

[1][2] It was conceived by graduate students Christopher Lucas and Avi Santo and launched in October 2004.

Flow is intended to foster conversations amongst media scholars and non-academic communities.

[3] Flow is organized around short, topical columns written by respected media scholars on monthly schedule.

These columns invite response from the critical community by asking provocative questions that are significant to the study and experience of media.

The journal is edited and organized by RTF graduate students at the University of Texas at Austin.

28) Flow was also affiliated with a biennial television and media culture conference hosted in Austin, Texas.

The first Flow Conference, which brought together Flow columnists, scholars, industry representatives, and students interested in the topics covered by the journal, was held October 26–29, 2006 at the University of Texas at Austin.
