The Journal of Applied Journalism and Media Studies (JAMS) (ISSN 2001-0818) is published by the Media Content Practices and Effects Program, Jönköping University, Box 1026, SE-551 11 Jönköping, Sweden, in coordination with the Journalism Research and Education section of the International Association of Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) and Center For Film and Media Studies, University of Cape Town, SA.
It is an independently published peer-reviewed journal. Its aim is to bridge the gap between media and communication research and actors with a say in media production, i.e. broadcasters, newspapers, radios, Internet-based media outlets, etc. It is devoted to research with an applied angle in which a clear link is made between the prevalent theories and paradigms media and communication scholars work with and the real world where media and communication activities take place.
Its main purpose is to test and apply media and communication theories to day-to-day affairs of media outlets to help executives, editors and journalists solve the issues they confront.
