Issues of particular interest to Media & Journalism include: journalism, society and democracy; media and social identities; media history and transformation; communication and journalism ethics; media economics and politics; modes and strategies of political and strategic communication; information technologies and innovation in the media and journalism; new media forms of communication; journalists as an interpretive community; digital and transmedia literacy; and media pluralism and digital practice.

The accepted articles constitute the central section of the magazine, with a topic that serves as the title to each issue.

Co-editors can be chosen by invitation or via a periodic call system.
