The open-access 'Journal of Media and Rights' (JMR) invites submissions for publication consideration, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue on the intersection of media and rights.

As global challenges to rights intensify—often shaped by media—JMR seeks original research exploring how media practices, texts, and industries impact the realisation of rights.

We encourage contributions that engage with the PANEL principles—Participation, Accountability, Non-Discrimination and Equality, Empowerment, and Legality—to offer fresh perspectives on this critical and timely field.
