The Journal of Media Economics has appointed a number of Area Editors (AEs) that are outstanding experts in their field.

Reflecting the increasing diversity of analytical approaches employed in economics and recognizing that policies promoting social and political objectives may have significant economic impacts on media, the journal encourages submissions reflecting the insights of diverse disciplinary perspectives and research methodologies, both empirical and theoretical.

Very new topics (e.g., the impact of COVID-19) that emerge with rather limited data available, but that are considered as important, novel, and worth to be discussed are of interest for this forum.

The biannual Journal of Media Economics Award of Honor recognizes scholars whose work has played important roles in developing the field of media economics studies and its literature.

The awards will be presented biannually at the World Media Economics Conference.
