Guidelines For Authors


Mass Communicator solicits original articles and papers on contemporary media and communication issues by academicians, communication practitioners and researchers, working in any part of the world. The journal lays strong emphasis on publishing papers which make contribution to theory building or theory interrogation. As the paper has to go for blind peer review, authors are advised not to mention their identity on the body of the paper, but on a separate sheet.

The original content in a paper must not be less than 75%, excluding the references.
