Global Media Journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first issue of Global Media Journal (GMJ), devoted to exploring the world of communication, was launched online in fall of 2002. Since then, this publication has steadily and firmly established itself as a journal to address diverse interests of students, teachers, scholars, researchers, and institutions engaged in international activities, particularly communication.
