The journal welcomes original research articles, comprehensive review articles, and occasional special issues that synthesize emerging trends or address pressing challenges in the field. Targeted at an interdisciplinary audience of communication scholars, media researchers, journalism educators, and industry professionals, Digital Journalism is distinguished by its commitment to methodological pluralism and its focus on both legacy media transformation and native digital outlets.
