Three Journals:

="Information" and media=

International Review of Information Ethics
The IRIE - formerly IJIE, renamed due to a name similiarity with another information ethics journal - is the official journal of the [|International Center for Information Ethics (ICIE)]. It envisions an international as well as intercultural discussion focusing on the ethical impacts of information technology on human practices and thinking, social interaction, other areas of science and research and the society itself.

New Media & Society
New Media & Society is an international journal that strives to stimulate examination of the social dynamics of media and information change. New Media & Society encourages critical discussion of the key issues arising from the scale and speed of new media developments, drawing on a wide range of disciplinary perspectives and on both theoretical and empirical research. The journal publishes contributions on topics such as: New Media & Society publishes material grounded in both the social sciences and the humanities, and includes contributions from communication, media and cultural studies, as well as from sociology, geography, anthropology, economics, political science, and the information sciences.
 * the social, cultural and political dimensions of new media;
 * the global and local aspects of new media and social change;
 * contemporary and historical perspectives on new media;
 * the implications and impacts of, and determinants and obstacles to media change;
 * the relation and tension between theory, policy and practice.

Journal of Online Behavior
The Journal of Online Behavior (JOB) is concerned with the empirical study of human behavior in the online environment, and with the impact of evolving communication and information technology upon individuals, groups, organizations, and society. It is a peer-reviewed, behavioral science/social science journal, with editorial board members from several countries and disciplinary affiliations. The journal is published electronically on the World Wide Web, and in printed form. Each article published on the Web will be accompanied by an interactive discussion space, a pointer to which will accompany the article site. Significant comments from discussions may accompany the paper publication. The aim of the journal is to publish the highest quality theoretical and research scholarship in the area of human behavior in computer-mediated interaction on topics such as the following: The journal publishes two types of works. (1) Full-length "articles" feature theoretically oriented, empirically based research. Theoretical contributions, which may lead to empirically testable generalizations but without data, will also be considered. Reviews and syntheses of prior literature are also welcome provided they articulate original contributions and offer to promote significant theoretical and research applications. (2) "Research reports" consist of well-designed empirical investigations without the level of theoretical explication required for full-length articles.
 * comparative media effects on communication processes and outcomes
 * reciprocal interactions among media characteristics and users' constructions of self, system, and others
 * social-cognitive dynamics and their effects presented by online interaction
 * temporal and longitudinal analyses of media influences and adaptation
 * the nature of virtual associations in various relationships and groups
 * media usage and effects by and among ethnic and cultural groups, and other cross-cultural issues
 * anthropological studies of systems in use electronic educational and therapeutic interventions, and
 * economic and organizational behavior affected by new media in local and global networks.

Journal of New Media and Culture
NMEDIAC has adopted the mission of publishing peer-reviewed papers and audiovisual pieces that contextualize encoding/decoding environments and the discourses, ideologies, and human experiences/uses of new media apparatuses. NMEDIAC provides an intellectual canvas where the cultural spaces and experiences of new media are theorized and rigorously explored within both global and local contingencies of the present and past. In particular, we publish articles that attempt inter- and intra-disciplinary research of new media texts and technologies. Works that incorporate either or both humanities and social science approaches to scholarship are welcome.

The Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication (JCMC)
A web-based, peer-reviewed scholarly journal. Its focus is social science research on computer-mediated communication via the Internet, the World Wide Web, and wireless technologies. Within that general purview, the journal is broadly interdisciplinary, publishing work by scholars in communication, business, education, political science, sociology, media studies, information science, and other disciplines. Acceptable formats for submission include original research articles, meta-analyses of prior research, synthesizing literature surveys, and proposals for special issues.

The Information Society
The Information Society (TIS) is a multidisciplinary refereed journal that provides a forum for thoughtful commentary and discussion of information technology and social change and information policy. It serves as a key critical forum for leading edge analysis of the impacts, policies, system concepts, methodologies related to information technologies and changes in society and culture. Some of the key information technologies include computers and telecommunications; the sites of social change include homelife, workplaces, schools, communities and diverse organizations, as well as new social forms in cyberspace. The journal appeals to scientists, scholars and policymakers in government, education, and industry.

Information, Communication, and Society
Drawing together the most current work upon the social, economic and cultural impact of the emerging properties of the new information and communications technologies, this journal positions itself at the centre of contemporary debates about the information age. Information, Communication & Society (iCS) transcends cultural and geographical boundaries as it explores a diverse range of issues relating to the development and application of information and communications technologies (ICTs).

Convergence: The Journal of Research into New Media Technologies
Convergence is one of the longest-standing journals in new media studies (published since 1994). The journal publishes new research which reflects on new media technologies, the Internet, mobile technologies, and any place in which the ongoing impacts of technological convergence can be seen.

=misc. STS=

Science, Technology and Human Values (STHV)
Science, Technology, & Human Values is an international, multidisciplinary journal containing recent research, analyses and commentaries on the development and dynamics of science and technology, including their involvement in politics, society, and culture. The journal provides the reader with work from scholars in a diverse range of disciplines across the Social Sciences. These disciplines range from Sociology, Philosophy and History over Political Sciences, Environmental Studies and Economics up to Anthropology and Literature. For thirty years Science, Technology, & Human Values has provided the forum for cutting-edge research and debate in this dynamic and important field. As scientific advances improve our lives, they also complicate how we live and react to the new technologies. More and more, human values come into conflict with scientific advancement as we deal with important issues such as nuclear power, environmental degradation and information technology. To fully cover the field and the vital issues that arise on an almost daily basis.

Configurations
//Configurations// is the only journal devoted to the study of the discourse pertaining to the theories and practices of science, technology, and medicine. The journal explores the relations of literature and the arts to the sciences and technology. The official publication of the Society for Literature, Science, and Arts

Journal of Science Communication.
(formerly Knowledge: Creation, Diffusion, Utilization)

While there are not a large number of articles combining STS and Media Studies explicitly, some of the best examples of research drawing on these two interdisciplines can be found in the //Journal of Science Communication//. Their website proclaims that “JCOM is trying to become an interdisciplinary melting-pot capable of providing some theoretical guidelines for science communication.”

"Science Communication unites international scholarly exploration of three broad but interrelated topics: Communication within research communities - Communication of scientific and technical information to the public - Science and Technology communications policy. Science is broadly defined within the context of Science Communication to include social science, engineering, medical knowledge, as well as the physical and natural sciences. "The evolution of Science Communication has been fueled by increased scholarly attention to the diffusion aspect of expert knowledge. Science Communication sets new standards for scholarly and critical analysis of public communication by linking public policy to the parameters in which knowledge is created. Topics include:
 * "Communication among experts and professionals... The journal explores such diverse and important subjects as how scientists and engineers use new communication technologies, and the unique problems in peer-review practices for research journals.
 * "Communication history... In this rich and varied area of inquiry, you’ll find a broad range of articles, including the evolution of science broadcasting, content analyses of gender and racial stereotypes in science magazines, and evaluations of the effectiveness of government programs to enhance the public’s understanding of science.
 * "Communication of scientific information to other professionals... Because the dissemination of scientific information is critical, Science Communication examines important and far ranging issues, such as the use of scientific knowledge in court, and how research findings are shaped to refine government regulation. Communication to audiences outside technical communities... In the pages of Science Communication, you’ll find articles that analyze the content of scientific information in commercial television, as well as scholarship that probes issues like the changing economics of science museums."

Cultural Anthropology
Themes

Anthropology Quarterly
Seems to have a relatively "public" focus.

They relatively recently added an "arena for public intellectual writing," a sections of public intellectual thought and commentary on "media."

"While continuing to publish outstanding data-driven anthropology and articles that advance anthropological theory, AQ also asks intellectuals to contribute to on-going public debates relevant to contemporary experiences. We believe that it is important for anthropologists to focus on public debates, not only because we live and work in societies that face the challenges of such varied problems as war, racism, poverty, nationalism, globalization, human rights, and the social, legal, and ethical implications of new genetic technologies, but because we need to add our voices to discourses dominated by journalists and a very small number of public intellectuals."
