<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The <i>Journal of Communication Inquiry</i> invites submissions for the 2017 theme issue, “Articulations of International Media and English.” This issue will be devoted to the connections the global spread
of English makes with media production and consumption in places where English is not the mother tongue. This includes, but is not limited to, countries where English was introduced via colonization or is treated as a foreign language. English and its global
dissemination have been analyzed in terms that range from linguistic imperialism, to neoliberal hegemony, to audience uses of English to create new definitions of the local, national, and global. When approaching the spread of English from a media studies
perspective, popular television shows in English, movies in English, and locally-produced English-language news and entertainment content all become objects of analysis. These contexts can include diasporic and indigenous media.</span></p>

<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">JCI</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> is seeking input from scholars in a variety of disciplines who can find ways to wed theory from the fields of media and linguistics to
examine the intersections of English and media production and consumption. We strongly encourage submissions from international scholars who can provide insiders’ perspectives on the relationships between English language media and indigenous language media
in places around the world. The deadline for submitting manuscripts is 11:59 p.m. CST on February 17, 2017. All submissions will undergo peer review. Please contact <i>JCI</i> Managing Editor John C.
