Television & New Media
Television & New Media is an international journal showcasing key intellectual developments in television and new media studies.
TVNM addresses questions of how power is expressed through media politics, economics, and cultures. The journal focuses on critical and cultural studies approaches to media and their application across social science and humanities disciplines.
Articles and theme issues in the journal customarily address, but are not limited to:

• surveillance culture
• media policy and intellectual property regimes
• speech rights, social movement media, and media citizenship

Other Reminders:
1. Use the form of authors’ names as they appear on the title page or at the head of an article or chapter. First names may be given in full in place of initials.
2. In-text citations of specific pages should follow publication date and comma (2001, 5; 2009, 17, 32; 2010, 764-765).
3. In-text citations with multiple references should be in alphabetical (not chronological) order, and separated by semicolons. For example: Smith 1996; Zilman 1994, 34.
4. For in-text citations, list only the first author followed by “et al.” For more than three authors (or in some science publications, more than two), only the name of the first author is used, followed by "et al." [e.g., (Sechzer et al. 1996, 243)]. Note that et al. is not italicized in in-text citations. In references, list up to 10 authors; if more, list the first seven followed by "et al.”
5. For references with two authors, use “and”, rather than “&” (e.g., Smith and Johnson 2009).
6. Publication dates are not in brackets and come after the author names.
7. Endnotes in tables can be, (1) source notes (e.g., Sources: Data from Adams 1998) or, (2) explanations and definition such as UV = ultraviolet. In table text, superscript notes as 1, 2, 3. Do not superscript numbers in notes section.
8. Spell out numbers one to ninety-nine; spell out rounded numbers after one hundred. Spell out centuries (e.g., twentieth century); spell out percent.
9. Hyphenate written-out fractions (e.g., one-third of the participants).
SAGE Artwork Submission Guidelines:
Artwork includes charts and graphs, maps, photographs, line art, and tables with 17 or more columns.
Electronic Art
Acceptable submissions include the following:
TIFF, EPS, JPEG, and PDF. Use the following checklist to ensure proper submission of artwork:
Resolution: Images should be supplied with a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
Color: Please note that color images will be published in color online and black and white in print (unless otherwise arranged). Therefore, it is important that you supply images that are legible in black and white as well (i.e., by using color with a distinctive pattern or dotted lines). The captions should reflect this by not using words indicating color.
Dimension: Check that the artwork supplied matches or exceeds the dimensions of the journal. Images cannot be scaled up after origination.
Fonts: The lettering used in the artwork should not vary too much in size and type (usually sans serif font as a default).
Word Files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
Microsoft Office is essentially a family of applications that can be used to produce a variety of document types, including written documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and databases.
Microsoft Application Files are acceptable for vector art (line art).
Although we prefer artwork files in TIFF, EPS or PDF formats, we are also aware that a number of authors already (for convenience) submit their artwork in Microsoft Office formats; therefore, we will continue to support these submission types now and in the future. Use the following checklist to ensure proper submission of artwork in Word files:
Dimension: Once you have imported/inserted an image into a Microsoft Office application, do not change its size
Fonts: Please use only standard fonts, i.e., Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Symbol, Times.
Scanned Images
Line Art (black and white) should be scanned as a bitmap at 900ppi and photos should be scanned as a grayscale or CMYK at 300ppi.
Helpful Hints
-
Sage Journals Production has prepared a separate “Artwork Submission Guidelines” form to answer this question. For this form, go to Resources for Journal Editors/Authors at www.sagepub.com.
-
If applicable, charges for color figures are $800 for the first color figure and $200 for each additional color figure.
-
Images are best submitted separately from the text document. Embedding image files in Word or similar programs automatically reduces the resolution below what is needed for quality print publication.
-
Did you know that you can confirm that your artwork is print-ready? Sheridan Press, one of SAGE’s printers, preflights artwork for authors for free. We encourage you to take advantage of this service, DigitalExpert, at http://dx.sheridan.com. There you can upload your artwork and Sheridan will send you an e-mail letting you know if your artwork is ready for press. The service is free and only requires you to sign on and give them an e-mail address where they can reach you.
Authors who would like to refine the use of English in their manuscripts might consider using the services of a professional English-language editing company. We highlight some of these companies at http://www.sagepub.com/journalgateway/engLang.htm.
Please be aware that SAGE has no affiliation with these companies and makes no endorsement of them. An author's use of these services in no way guarantees that his or her submission will ultimately be accepted. Any arrangement an author enters into will be exclusively between the author and the particular company, and any costs incurred are the sole responsibility of the author.
For more information, please refer to the SAGE Manuscript Submission Guidelines.
SAGE Choice
If you or your funder wishes your article to be freely available online to nonsubscribers immediately upon publication (gold open access), you can opt for it to be included in SAGE Choice, subject to the payment of a publication fee. The manuscript submission and peer review procedure is unchanged. On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let SAGE know directly if you are choosing SAGE Choice. To check journal eligibility and the publication fee, please visit SAGE Choice. For more information on open access options and compliance at SAGE, including self/author archiving deposits (green open access) visit SAGE Publishing Policies on our Journal Author Gateway.
