The Southern Communication Journal (SCJ) is the nationally and internationally read scholarly publication of the Southern States Communication Association (SSCA). The Southern Communication Journal publishes original scholarship that makes significant contributions to understanding the processes and consequences of human communication. The journal is not limited with regard to topic, methodological approach, or theoretical perspective, although authors must establish the significance of the research, soundness of methodological choices, and appropriateness of theoretical perspectives. We seek to publish articles and book reviews that will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and practitioners of communication. As a journal that seeks to address the breadth of communication, SCJ is particularly interested in manuscripts that move beyond addressing only WEIRD samples and topics (people and topics drawn only from Western/white, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic societies) in the study of human communication. All authors, regardless of topic, approach, or perspective, are encouraged to recognize the situatedness of their authorship and scholarship and to account for how this situatedness enables and limits their work. SSCA has long welcomed scholars and students from all fields of communication, and Southern Communication Journal reflects that, incorporating articles through its 83-year run from a mix of scholarly avenues advancing both communication theories and practical applications in tandem. For more information on SSCA and SCJ, please visit http://ssca.net/.

Peer Review Policy: SCJ employs a process of anonymized review, although the editor reserves the right to return without benefit of review manuscripts that are outside of the mission of the journal, are deeply flawed, or do not conform to the guidelines listed below. All manuscripts should include an abstract of approximately 150 words and a list of key words that clearly indicate the scholarly conversation to which the essay contributes. Submissions may be in either APA or Chicago, and must be original research not under review elsewhere. Manuscripts should not normall
