Journalism History earlier this year joined the ranks of academic publications distributed by Taylor & Francis’ highly professional production team. With a full volume in this arrangement nearing completion, Journalism History still features the articles, essays, and reviews that have drawn writers and readers to it in previous decades.

As a reminder to long-time readers as well as those new to the journal, changes in our submission process now requires use of the Editorial Manager site (https://journalism-history.org/submissions). Melita M. Garza still administers book review materials at melita.garza@tcu.edu.

By way of other updates, I can share a few noteworthy observations:

• The acceptance rate of manuscripts submitted to the journal has remained consistent over the past year when compared with previous editors. I have edited an estimated 100 manuscripts both in months when the journal was self-published and now with Taylor & Francis. Of these submissions, roughly, 25 have gone to print, 25 rejected, and 50 are under review or revision. Most of these manuscripts have come from a pool developed before the switch to Editorial Manager.
• At the same time, it is fair to note a drop in the number of new submissions since early 2019, due — as I have gathered anecdotally — to a sizable number of History Division members devoting work to books recently published or in progress.

For these reasons, please allow me — along with the leadership of AEJMC’s History Division, its members, and the editorial staff of the journal — to encourage you to submit scholarship for review. We invite materials that follow these guides: https://journalism-history.org/submissions. Please feel free to forward this information to your colleagues.

If you have any questions about the submission process or Journalism History in general, please feel free to contact me directly at gregory.borchard@unlv.edu.
