Ecquid Novi - African Journalism Studies is a masked peer reviewed journal for journalism research in Africa. It is affiliated to the Journalism Studies Division of the International Communication Association (ICA), and sponsors the best journalism research paper of the International Communication Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC). Founded in 1980 in South Africa, the journal publishes critical articles from all perspectives that contribute to the theoretical knowledge base of journalism as a field of study, research and praxis. The journal aims to foster a better understanding of journalism, media studies and mass communication as research disciplines in the comparative context of Africa and the South. While the focus of the journal is on Africa, its scope and academic interest is global. Consisting of an editorial board of eminent international scholars, Ecquid Novi - African Journalism Studies' mission is to be the foremost international journal for African journalism research.
