Electronic News is a quarterly journal devoted to advancing knowledge and understanding of news as disseminated through electronic media platforms. The journal invites submissions of original research that examine a broad range of issues concerning electronic news. Submissions must be clearly applicable to the practice of electronic news and must be written for an audience that includes both academicians and practitioners. Submitted work is evaluated according to the quality of its conceptualization; the importance of the topic to practitioners, scholars, and policy makers; the lasting contribution it will make to electronic news studies; and the research execution. Key considerations of research execution include the research design, soundness of the research procedure, and the clarity of presentation. The Editors reserve the right not to send for review manuscripts that fall outside the scope of the journal.

1. It is assumed that only the original work of the author will be submitted for journal consideration. Any manuscript submitted must not be under consideration by another publication.
2. An electronic copy of the manuscript should be submitted. The author should retain the original.
3. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the current edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, modified to mirror industry conversational style including the use of contractions. Nonsexist language should be used. Authors are strongly encouraged to refer to a relevant guide for word usage and grammar. The Electronic News style guide can be found on the Electronic News Web page at www.LEAOnline.com/loi/EN
4. Because manuscripts are reviewed blindly, author identification should be on the title page only, which is to be submitted as a separate electronic file. The title page should include the following: the complete title; name(s) of author(s); corresponding postal addresses, electronic mail addresses, and telephone numbers; and any necessary credits. Any further references that might identify the author(s) should be removed from the manuscript.
5. The second page of the manuscript should consist of an abstract of 100 to 150 words. The text of the manuscript (including its title) should begin on the next page, with the remaining pages numbered consecutively with running heads.
6. Notes and references should be double-spaced on pages following the text of the manuscript and follow the formats of the current edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Notes should be kept to a minimum. Complete citations for references should be supplied.
7. Clear, economical, and orderly expression is expected of submissions to the journal. Most submissions should be circa 18-22 pages, including references and tables. Brevity is encouraged.
