About Us
The Magazine Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication is composed of journalism professors who teach courses in magazine writing, editing, management, and design at colleges and universities in the United States and abroad. We publish the scholarly online Journal of Magazine & New Media Research and a biannual newsletter. Our teaching activities include the popular Student Magazine Contest and faculty development tour as well as a syllabus exchange and student magazine exchange. Each year members present research papers at both the Southeast Colloquium and the AEJMC Convention. We welcome inquiries from professional magazine editors and publishers.
