Talastásan: A Philippine Journal of Communication and Media Studies is a peer-reviewed e-journal of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines - College of Communication (PUP-COC). Its goal is to strengthen the College's research culture by publishing theoretical and empirical studies in communication and media. It also provides a venue for PUP-COC faculty and student researchers to disseminate their research through publication. Nonetheless, the journal accepts submissions from faculty and student researchers from other institutions, which will promote the journal and the university to gain more readers, potential collaborators, citations, and recognition.

 

Two issues will be published each year, in June and December, focusing on the following areas of research:

 

• Communication, media, and society

• Media education and literacy

• Health communication

• Media and the environment

• Gender and sexuality in media

• Communication and disaster management

• Peace communication and conflict resolution

• Pop culture and digital media

• Organizational and development communication,

• Cross-cultural communication

• Media laws and ethics

• Information campaign and evaluation, advertising/public relations principles, and case studies
