The objective of the Canadian Journal of Communication (CJC) is to publish Canadian research and scholarship in the field of communication studies. In pursuing this objective, particular attention is paid to research that has a distinctive Canadian flavour by virtue of choice of topic or by drawing on the legacy of Canadian theory and research. The purview of the journal is the entire field of communication studies as practiced in Canada or with relevance to Canada.
The CJC is published online-only, four times per year. Access to the most recent year's issues, including the current issue, requires a subscription. Back issues are open access with a 12-month delay under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
