Editor's Reflection: The Pivot to Print

This number of The Journal of Magazine Media marks the end of an era. When the journal launched, it was one of very few journals of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication that published in a digital-only format. The 18 volumes of the journal to have been published so far (this issue marking the last of volume 18) have followed that format. Our production process has not evolved much since the turn of the millennium. Submissions come to us by email. We track manuscripts on a spreadsheet. We send them to our reviewers by email. We track our (wonderful) reviewers by email. We prepare manuscripts in Microsoft Word, according to a style sheet that I hand wrote in a notebook when the guidelines were sent to me by former editor Carol Schwalbe. We wouldn’t get anything done if it weren’t for the journal’s editorial assistant, Caroline Chan, emailing us every two weeks with a to-do list.
