We are so excited to announce the creation of Beacon: UBC Journal of Media Studies!
Beacon will be the first student-led undergraduate, peer & faculty reviewed online multimedia journal in Canada about Media Studies. It aims to showcase the most ambitious & outstanding works of current UBC Media Studies students and push boundaries in new media and communications studies! An inclusive platform, Beacon will celebrate the creativity of students with exuberant & quieter voices who see Media as a beacon to illuminate the unique stories within them & illuminate the stories that need to be told – shedding light on new perspectives.
Beacon provides visibility to undergraduate creative and research work in the field of media studies, and establishes dialogues between media studies students at various levels.
The journal is currently hiring student editors, web design coordinator, and communications coordinator to join the inaugural student-led Beacon journal team! Please check out the Hiring Package for the deadline and details on how to apply!
The journal will also be making a Call for YOUR Submissions very soon so please stay tuned for more announcements!
